Lando Norris handed victory at Saturday's Qatar sprint race to McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, repaying the favour the Australian gave him at the Brazilian Grand Prix sprint race earlier this year.
In Brazil, Piastri gave up the lead of the sprint race to let Norris win to maximise his teammate's chances of beating Max Verstappen in the drivers' championship.
With the title decided in Verstappen's favour at last weekend's Las Vegas Grand Prix, Norris returned the favour by letting Piastri through for victory on the final lap.
The McLaren one-two victory strengthened the team's chances of securing its first constructors' title in 26 years, by extending its lead in the standings to 30 points over rivals Ferrari.
