Oscar Piastri has sidestepped the question of whether he'd be prepared to play Formula One kingmaker by helping teammate and overwhelming championship favourite Lando Norris race to the world drivers' crown.
Norris, who leads by 12 points from champion Max Verstappen and 16 from McLaren teammate Piastri going into the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with all three still in the hunt, said on Thursday he felt he would help the Australian if the boot was on the other foot.
But quizzed on his stance, Piastri neatly ducked the burning topic on pre-race media day, shrugging: "It's not something we've discussed -- I don't really have an answer until I know what's expected of me."
