168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri has confirmed he’s still “free to race” McLaren F1 teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris at the Dutch Grand Prix.

Norris still has a faint chance of winning this year’s F1 drivers’ championship, trailing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen by 78 points.

Given McLaren’s impressive t♋urn of speed in recent rounds relative to Red Bull, Verstappen’s lead isn’t insurmountable, but it will require Norris to 𝐆maximise every opportunity.

McLaren wereౠ engulfed in a team orders fiasco at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Piasꦿtri claimed the lead from Norris on the opening lap - a⛄nd led much of the race - before losing out through the pit stop phase as McLaren covered an undercut attempt behind.

This handed Norꦕris the race lead - but McLaren ordered him to move over - which he eventually did after his race e🐟ngineer, Will Joseph, was effectively forced to beg over team radio.

Speaking to media including in the FIA press conference, Piastri made it clear that the ‘ruleꦺs haven’t changed’.

“Yeah, t🌱he rules are very, very clear and haven’t changed,” he said. “And yeah, we’re free to race each other to try and win.

“Of course, we’re in a Constructors’ Championship fight and we know that there’s a lot a🐷t stake for the team. But we’ve shown time and time again that we can race🗹 each other well, race each other cleanly.

“An༺d yeah, we’re free to try and both win the raಞce. And that’s not changed.”

Norris added: “We’re free to race. There’s never been any r𝕴ules apart from don’t crash intoꦦ each other. That’s literally the only rule.

“Otherwise, we’ve always been free to race. We’ve r🦋aced well in the past. So that’s all good for us.”
