How should McLaren manage its drivers in 2026?

McLaren adopted a clear policy of treating its drivers as equals throughout the 2025 F1 season as they battled for the championship.

It did not sway from the stance even late on in the year when Max Verstappen became a significant threat in the drivers' championship.

Lando Norris managed to hang on to the lead of the standings at the chequered flag in Abu Dhabi by just two points over Verstappen, while Oscar Piastri slipped to third in the standings.

Next year, F1 will enter a new era under a fresh set of technical regulations, which threaten to shake up the pecking order.

But should McLaren once again be a contender at the front of the field, should it prioritise one driver or continue treating them as equals?
