Lando Norris is 62 points behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen in the drivers' championship.

Oscar Piastri is in fourth place in the championship, 86 points behind the Briton .

McLaren boss Andrea Stella says team-mates will prioritise Norris over team-mate.

Stella refused to give details of what might be made in Norris ' favour but said decisions would be made on ad hoc basis.

Stella said this changed approach from McLaren was distinct from the so-called "papaya rules" A phrase used by Norrisâ engineer Will Joseph over the team radio in Italy as a shorthand for drivers' rules of engagement with each other on track.

Stella emphasised that while we focus the conversation and the attention on to the driversâ, we don't lose sight on the fact that the constructorsâ is at least a three -headed quest.
