"I don't want to win this way, and the same with Oscar, he said. But we do what we think is correct as a team no matter what people say and what their opinions are and we will stick with that. We are not idiots and we have plans for different things. If there were four cars between me and Oscar, of course he is not going to let me back past and that is correct."
"After Norris had held second almost the entire race, he dropped behind his teammate because of a slow pit stop caused by a wheel gun issue in the last laps and McLaren ordered the Australian to give the place back. Piastri did so and Norris went on to take second and three points out of his teammate's championship lead, reducing it to 31 points. Both drivers accepted the decision on track and afterwards."
Max Verstappen won the Italian Grand Prix with dominant pace, while McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri finished second and third. Norris briefly lost second due to a slow pit stop caused by a wheel gun issue in the final laps, prompting McLaren to order Piastri to cede the position. Piastri complied, reducing his championship lead to 31 points and allowing Norris to take three points. Both drivers accepted the on-track decision and post-race outcome. Norris defended the team decision as correct and fair given the circumstances, while Piastri said he had no regrets about yielding.
