McLaren chief executive Zak Brown accepts managing Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will be a challenge as the team-mates vie for the 2025 Drivers' Championship.

Norris won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday, the last race of the 2024 Formula One season, to secure the Constructors' Championship for McLaren before declaring that "next year is my year".

McLaren had not won a constructors' title since 1998.

Piastri has also confirmed that individual glory is his aim for 2025 and Brown conceded that juggling the prospects of both drivers may prove challenging.

He told Sky Sports News: "I think you want the clean sweep. Why not be greedy and say: 'I want the drivers' one and the constructors' too'?

"That's the goal going into next year. Lando had eight poles – unbelievable. Oscar had a fantastic season, so I think we have two drivers that can compete for the Championship.

"I'm sure all the men and women here will give them both another race car that's capable of winning races and fighting for the championship.

"I'm sure it will be a challenge at times but we'll just take it one race at a time."
