McLaren need to immediately prioritise Lando Norris over Oscar Piastri if they have any hopes of winning both Championships this season.CEO Zak Brown and team principal Andrea Stella have so far refused to give the Brit any preferential treatment over Oscar Piastri.That has been a fair call as they hunt down the Constructors’ title.But the gap has closed to just eight points and it is a given that they will leapfrog Red Bull with Sergio Perez continuing to struggle.Now McLaren have to switch their focus to the drivers’ standings, where Norris is 62 points behind Max Verstappen.The papaya car is the strongest on the grid and is the favourite to win all of the remaining races.If the drivers cross the chequered flag in the order Piastri, Norris, Verstappen in each of the eight remaining Grands Prix then the Red Bull man will take home the world title.But if they finish in the order of Norris, Piastri, Verstappen, then the Brit will win his first Drivers’ Championship.McLaren’s best hopes are by backing Norris, but time is of the essence.Pointless international breakTHIS international break has to be the most pointless one of them all.Premier League sides have only been back for three matches, how are they meant to build any rhythm?And to make it worse they’re going to cram in two fixtures a week for those sides in Europe until another needless international break early next month.Football fans ripped offPREPARE for £85 football tickets to be the norm as Aston Villa became the latest club to rip off their loyal fan base.That’s the price of the cheapest Champions League seat for those without a season ticket.Once everyone sees Villa Park is still sold out, expect others to hike up their prices too.
