McLaren On Pole For First Constructors' Title Since 1998
Lando Norris wants to lead McLaren to their first constructors' title since 1998 in style after claiming pole on Saturday ahead of team-mate Oscar Piastri for Sunday's decisive season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Norris clocked a best lap in one minute and 22.595 seconds to outpace Piastri by two-tenths of a second under floodlights at the Yas Marina Circuit with Carlos Sainz, who leaves Ferrari after Sunday's race, taking third. Ferrari are bidding to overhaul McLaren's 21-point advantage in the constructors' championship but suffered a major setback when Charles Leclerc failed to make the top ten shootout and, with a 10-place penalty, will start at the back of the grid.
