The Spaniard outscored his team-mate in the drivers’ standing, scoring 105 points to finish sixth – equalling his highest-ever result in F1 from 2019.
That failure to start in the Belgian Grand Prix meant Norris also edged the race battle with nine wins to Sainz eight, but the Spaniard recored McLaren’s highest result of the season in second at the Italian Grand Prix, where as Norris managed third at the Austrian Grand Prix. Sainz suffered more retirements throughout the season with three, including a ‘did not start’ in Belgium, while Norris suffered just one retirement. If you thought the qualifying battle was close, then the race battle couldn’t even be separated in the seventeen races. Throughout 2020, Sainz and Norris couldn’t be separated in qualifying, as the pair also shared the best qualifying result in third – Norris in Austria and Sainz in Styria – becoming one of the best duels to watch on the grid every weekend.

Norris took the battle of qualifying, as he out out-qualified his team-mate nine times compared to Sainz who managed to out-qualified him eight times. The qualifying battle between the two McLaren’s was one of the hotly contested duels between any other team on the grid, with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix having to settle the final outcome.

A retirement from Max Verstappen, a ten-second penalty for Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas saw Sainz, alongside Gasly and Lance Stroll, secure the podium places – the first time since 2013 that no driver from Ferrari, Red Bull or Mercedes was on the podium. Sainz took the team’s best result of the season in Monza with a second-place finish and was unlucky not to secure his maiden Grand Prix win as AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly edged the Spaniard.
