This year, McLaren should have a driver with a title. It\u2019s just a question of which one as the team has been incredibly dominant all season.<\/p>\n

Norris now trails Piastri in the standings by 22 points. Piastri leads the series with seven wins while Norris has five wins. Verstappen still lurks in third, but is 41 points behind Norris. He\u2019d need to win nearly all of the next six races and three sprints with both Piastri and Norris having issues to have a shot at a fifth straight title.<\/p>\n
Russell won the race from pole and was never seriously challenged for the win. He immediately drove away from Verstappen and everyone else at the start and had a 10-second lead before he pitted for tires approximately a third of the way through the race. Verstappen cut into Russell’s lead thanks to an earlier pit stop, but Russell’s fresher tires eventually stretched the lead back out to a comfortable margin despite late-race lapped traffic.<\/p>\n
