McLaren has told Lando Norris he has no need to change the way he drives in the Formula One title battle with Red Bull's Max Verstappen, according to team boss Andrea Stella.

The Briton, often his own harshest critic, had told reporters before Sunday's Mexico City Grand Prix that he needed to make changes to fight at the same level as his championship-leading rival.

Stella said after Norris finished second in Mexico, with Verstappen sixth and twice punished for track incidents with the McLaren driver, that Norris should keep doing what he did.
