Lando Norris says he will not ask McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri for any assistance at this weekend’s title decider in Abu Dhabi, but added that he would “do it for him if it was the other way around”.

Lando Norris expects “tricks” from pole-sitter Max Verstappen in Sunday’s mouthwatering three-way title showdown in Abu Dhabi. The Briton is also facing the possibility of a recurrence of his “worst nightmare” in the desert decider.
