Norris and Ricciardo qualified in seventh and sixteenth, respectively, for the Portuguese Grand Prix. Ricciardo's elimination in the first qualifying stage (Q1) was the first for a McLaren since the 2019 Brazilian Grand Prix. In the race, Norris finished in fifth while Ricciardo recovered to ninth. The result meant McLaren extended their lead for third place over Ferrari, with both Norris and Ricciardo maintaining their Drivers' Championship positions. After this race, McLaren was the only team to have had both drivers score points in every race of the season.
