Norris wins Sao Paulo GP sprint after Piastri cedes lead under team orders
Briefly

"Oscar Piastri had been explicit beforehand he would not have an issue doing so. I've said I would when we had these discussions, he said earlier in the weekend. It would be nice to win, but it's a one-point difference and it's not the main race... Lando needs the points in the driver standings a lot more than I do."
"The victory continues Norris's comeback at Verstappen in the championship battle and was vital in once more edging closer to the Dutchman. Norris has taken a further two points from his rival, closing the gap to 45-points with 112 available from one further sprint and four races to come."
"With the pressure on Norris to close the gap at every opportunity the British driver, Piastri and McLaren acted collectively to make the most of their chance in the sprint. The pace of the McLaren will give him great optimism he can take another chunk out of Verstappen's lead in Sunday's GP."
