MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Just five races into the Formula 1 season and there's already a compelling championship battle with inner organization implications.
Oscar Piastri has aggressively shown he won't sit behind teammate Lando Norris, allowing Norris to become the anointed No. 1 driver at McLaren Racing. The Aussie did it by winning three of the first five races this season to take hold of the lead in the driver standings.
Norris, at one time McLaren's designated champion-in-waiting, sits 10 points back from Piastri with one victory on the season.
