"The constructors' championship was always our priority, so this doesn't change anything," said team boss Andrea Stella after Norris started on pole and finished sixth while Red Bull's Max Verstappen won from 17th on the grid.
"Even when there was a call to be made to support one driver or another, it was always secondary to actually maximising the constructors' championship."
Three-time world champion Verstappen is now 62 points clear of Norris, his closest rival, with three rounds and 86 points still to fight for. That means he could clinch a fourth successive title in Las Vegas later in November.
McLaren increased their constructors' lead over Ferrari to 36 points, however.
