“There is no discussion about that. If one of us wins his first world title in Formula 1, that is something to celebrate. The person who loses the title also understands that,” said Piastri.

Norris and Piastri will battle it out in the final race of the year in Abu Dhabi with Max Verstappen who will become world champion. As World Cup leader, Norris is the favorite in advance, but Piastri also has a chance. “I think we have more than enough respect for each other to appreciate the work of the person who loses,” said the Australian.

Norris agreed. “We are respectful to each other. We don’t want to make each other feel bad.”
