Constructors’ battle ‘more pressure for everyone else’ than McLaren – 2024 Qatar GP Preview with Piastri’s race engineer Tom Stallard

Tom Clarkson is joined by Oscar Piastri’s race engineer, Tom Stallard, at the Lusail International Circuit ahead of a crucial weekend in the Constructors’ Championship.

McLaren lead Ferrari by just 24 points in the Constructors’ Standings. With the Qatar Grand Prix featuring the final F1 Sprint of the season, 103 points still on offer in the last two rounds of 2024, and Red Bull also in the mix, it’s still all to play for.

McLaren haven’t been World Champions since 1998, so are they feeling the pressure? Will they return to winning ways in Qatar after a double podium and Sprint victory here last season? Who’s their biggest threat for P1? Why has Piastri had weaker results since his win in Baku? And how does this fight compare to Stallard’s experiences as an Olympic rower?
