Formula 1: Before the decisive GP in Abu Dhabi, McLaren has banned media access to Norris and Piastri

In the last race of the Formula 1 season, which will take place on Sunday in Abu Dhabi, Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, and Max Verstappen are in competition for the title. McLaren has decided to ban press access to its drivers, with the exception of the official FIA press conference, to help them stay focused during this crucial period.

This measure is all the more significant considering the popularity of the final race and the rarity of the situation in which three drivers are fighting for the title in the last stage, an event that has not happened since 2010. Currently, Norris has a 12-point lead over Verstappen and a 16-point lead over his teammate Piastri.
