Earlier this week, 1978 F1 champion Mario Andretti accused McLaren of being biased towards Lando Norris in the ongoing title fight.
Norris is seeking to close down a deficit to team-mate Oscar Piastri in the drivers' championship, with the gap reading 22 points with six rounds remaining.
The pair clashed on the opening lap in Singapore last time out as Norris attempted to overtake Piastri. Norris sealed the position after making contact with the Australian, prompting complaints from Piastri, who highlighted the team's racing principles.
McLaren opted not to order a position change, and Norris went on to finish ahead of his title rival for the third consecutive race.
Andretti's comments prompted RacingNews365 to ask you, the fans, if you believe McLaren is favouring Norris over Piastri.
A huge 90 per cent of voters believe Norris is getting preferential treatment in the title fight.
In contrast, only one per cent of fans believe Piastri is being favoured, and almost six per cent of voters declared both are being treated equally.
Just six rounds remain in the title fight, including three sprint events.
See the poll result below!
