Red Bull - who trail the British outfit by 41 points in the standings - raised concerns over their rival's rear wing following this month's Azerbaijan Grand Prix, but the part was found to comply with F1 rules.

In light of this investigation, however, it transpired that McLaren will not run the part again this season.

Lando Norris makes 'mini DRS' admission

"But that’s just credit to the team doing an amazing job and being smarter and doing cooler things and creating mini-DRS flaps and stuff.

"I’m working my heart out, I’m working my butt off, to try and make sure that [a drivers' championship] happens.

"Verstappen's trying to make sure it doesn’t happen, so we’ll have to wait and find out."

McLaren underlined their championship potential in Singapore last weekend, with the team getting their two star drivers on the podium.

Lando Norris clinched his third victory of the season ahead of Max Verstappen as the gap between the pair at the top of the drivers' standings was reduced to just 52 points.

Norris' team-mate Oscar Piastri, meanwhile, rounded off the top three as the Australian continued his fine recent form.
