‘Papaya rules’ are a code of conduct for McLaren team-mates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris on the racing track.<\/p>\n
The word ‘papaya’ refers to the colour of the fruit that bears a resemblance to the iconic orange colour of McLaren.<\/p>\n
The drivers are often told of ‘papaya rules’ on radio messages during races when they are battling each other.<\/p>\n
It essentially reminds the drivers that they are free to race, but they must keep the battle fair, clean and avoid colliding.<\/p>\n
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella said both Piastri and Norris have been involved in creating the code.<\/p>\n
It also ensures equality and fairness between the two drivers as McLaren do not have a designated ‘number one’ driver.<\/p>\n
The guidelines have caused growing tension between the two drivers as they fight for the drivers’ championship.<\/p>\n
McLaren won the 2025 constructors’ championship with six races remaining at the Singapore Grand Prix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘Papaya rules’ are a code of conduct for McLaren team-mates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris on the racing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":202782,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,82],"class_list":["post-202781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202781"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202781\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202782"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
