N✅orris’ race engineer was frequently - and with increasing urgency - asking for Piastri to be allowed through.

Those requests fell on deaf ears for several laps until, with two remaining, Norris complied to e♏nable Piastri to win his first F1 grand prix.

Norris ღtold Sky Sports afterwards about the incident: “I think it was tough. It would be tough for anyone, when you’re leading a race, to give it up.

“I was obviously put in t🐠he position. They made me box first, and gave me the chance to lead the race, and pull away 🐟quite comfortably, and to do what I was doing.

“But thไey also gave me the opportunity to do so. 🧜It was fair to give the position back.

“I d𒉰on’t want to come a📖cross as a guy who’s not fair. Oscar has done a lot for me in the past, and has helped me in many races.

“He 🀅drove a better race than I did. He got a better start. Mine sucked. He deserved it, it was the right thi💎ng to do.

“It hurts. Anytime you give away a win, give it to somꩵeone…

“I know I shoulﷺdn’t have had it in the first place. I think it’s the main point.

“But when yo💦u’re leading the race and you🍌 have to give it back, it hurts.

“Especially, with the drivers’ championship,🌠 every poin𝓀t helps.

“I know I am a hell of a long way behind Max in the championship. I get th꧃at. No-one needs t🍰o tell me that.”

Lando Norris points finger at "bad start... again"

Norris is second in the F1 sta🎃ndings, 76 points behind leader Max Verstappen who was restricted to sixth in Hungary after a frustrating weekend of hꦕis own.

But Norris identifiඣed ano🌞ther reason - besides the team order drama - which cost him valuable points.

“It’s seven points I threw away today - or gave away,” he said. “Not because of the swꦐitching of position. But because of a bad🦹 start, again.

“That’s where I lost my race today. A tough one.

“I don’t want to let it take away from the 1-2 as a team, it’s an incredi꧂ble achievement. Our first since Monza, and our firಌst on pure merit.

“I’m prou🧜d,🐼 happy with the journey we’re on, and happy with the progress.”

Norris had started in pole position ahead of Piastri, then Verstap🐻pen.

But his lead didn’t last lon♒g, as he battled with Verstappen. Norris ran wide, then Verstappen gave him the position back rather than risk a penalty.

Norris was asked what caused his underwhelming start: “I’m not sure, I ๊need to review it. I had a bad shift into second.

“My launch was fine. My reaction and launch was goo𝓰d, then I shifted into second and had a mass𝔉ive cut. I don’t know.”

Norris was asked whether, as a championship contender, McLaren sho🌳uld give him preferen🃏tial treatment above teammate Piastri.

“We’ll see at the end of the year,” he smiled.
