"The way to win a championship is not by yourself,” McLaren told Lando Norris
Piastri went on to win his maiden F1 grand prix but the words exchanged between Norris and his bosses were in the spotlight.
On Lap 51 of 70, with Norris 3.5s ahead and leading the race, Piastri was told: "Once you get to Lando, we will swap the positions. But we want to avoid Lando giving up a lot of race time.” Sky Sports’ Martin Brundle insisted McLaren would face “a major issue” and “a breach of trust” if Norris did not comply with orders to let Piastri pass.
It means that Norris - who won his first F1 grand prix in Miami - has narrowly missed more wins in Austria, Silverstone and now Hungary.
