Lando Norris defends team orders after McLaren hand him Oscar Piastri’s place
Lando Norris, the British driver for McLaren, has defended the team's decision to use team orders at the Italian Grand Prix. Norris' teammate, Oscar Piastri, was asked to let Norris pass after a pit-stop error, which resulted in Norris finishing second and Piastri third. Norris dismissed the criticism of McLaren's decision, stating that the team will continue to do what they feel is right "no matter what people say." Piastri also expressed that he had no regrets in agreeing to cede his position to Norris. The race was won by Max Verstappen of Red Bull, who enjoyed a dominant performance at Monza. Norris had held second place for most of the race, but the pit-stop issue led to the team's decision to swap the positions of the two McLaren drivers.
