With just two race weekends remaining, Max Verstappen is fully back in the F1 title fight. It’s partly thanks to McLaren’s double disqualification in Las Vegas, with the team proving additional explanation during the F1 media day in Qatar. Where exactly did Andrea Stella’s team get it wrong, and how does Lando Norris view his first-ever match point for the Formula 1 world title? Ronald Vording discusses it all in a new F1 Update from the paddock. There is also attention for McLaren’s decision not to impose team orders on Oscar Piastri, Max Verstappen’s telling reaction to that, the promotion of Adrian Newey to the team principal role at Aston Martin, and how the maximum stint length in Qatar will work in practice.
