168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri has revealed that McLaren’s “first target” is to win this year’s F1 constr🐼uctors’ championship, not the drivers’ championship.

M✃cLaren sit just 42 points behind Red Bull in the teams’ standings ahead of t🎃he Dutch Grand Prix later this month.

In the drivers’ championship, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris is 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s closest cha﷽llenger, but there’s 78 points between thဣe pair.

With Red Bull sticking with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez, McLaren are optimistic of taking their f♒irst teams’ title since 1998.

Speaking to Sky Sꦜports News, Piastri outlined McLaren’s goal for the second half of the ༒year.

"The first objective is to win🥃 the constructors' for the team and I think we've got a very strong chance of doing that," Piastri said.

“We've been closing the gap to Red Bull 🐲in the last six or seven races.

“I think for me, the drivers' standings, of course I'd like to finish as high as I can. I'm not not out of 🌠the running for the champ🍎ionship myself, it's a very big ask, but I want to string together good races, build consistency on that front, and really help the team to win the constructors'.

“If it comes to a situation where I need to help Lando later in the year then of course it is something we'll discuss, but the first target is to win🔴 the constructors' and try do a good job for myself as well.”

McLaren CEO Zak Brown has insisted though tha♕t both remain “priorities” as you need a strong run in the drivers’ t💃o win the constructors’ crown.

"They are both [dri꧂vers' and constructors'] priorities because, ultimately, to win the constructors', we need our two drivers to be as high up as possible. I'd like to see both drivers in the ꦅtop three,” Brown explained.

“We've got second and fourth right now. And the closer we get✨ to the drivers', the closer that'll get us to the constructors', so we're going for both because all points cou𝔉nt.

“I guess the next big occasion for us would be trying to go for the ♛championship. It's certainly a nice feeling. The drivers, the team and everyone has done a wonderful job to get 10 podiums in a row. It is pretty awesome.

"To be competing for the Drivers' and the Constructors' Championship is a pretty cool place to be 🧸coming into the summer break. So there's a lot of work you have to do, it's not going to be easy. It's going to be an exciting second part of the year, but I'm very happy with everything that's been accomplished here at McLaren."
