Lando Norris: McLaren driver says new team rules don't mean Oscar Piastri will give up wins | F1 News
McLaren boss Andrea Stella says the team will back Lando Norris after Oscar Piastris overtake in Monza on the opening lap saw the British driver drop from first to third; watch first practice for the Azerbaijan GP at 10.30am on Friday, live on Sky Sports F1
The relevant part:
"So [Piastri's overtake at Monza] wasn't an ideal point in my world, but also as a team. It's not how we should have gone racing there. I think clearer instructions of how we can race each other has been cleared up."
Norris was asked if he was running in second place behind Piastri in first, that his team-mate would "probably not" be expected to give him the win and gave a clear "no" when further asked if Piastri would be handing him victories.
"In general, [the new rules are] probably for lower positions but if he's fought for a win and deserving of a win, then he deserves to win," he added.
Norris has a romantic view of being a world champion...
He's young, naive and thinks the world's a fair and just place. Soon he'll learn that it's not winner takes all, but biggest douche takes all.
