Norris gives his take on late-race position swap with Piastri in Italy

McLaren implemented team orders late in the Italian Grand Prix, instructing Oscar Piastri to cede second place to Lando Norris after a slower pit stop cost Norris track position. Race winner Max Verstappen had dominated, but a late safety car bunched the field, prompting McLaren to pit both drivers for soft tyres. Norris's subsequent slow stop saw him rejoin behind Piastri. Lando Norris affirmed the decision was a pre-race agreement, stating he would have done "exactly the same thing" if their positions were reversed, deeming it the "most fair" outcome. Piastri complied, allowing Norris to secure second and slightly narrow his teammate's championship lead. Despite the team order, Norris expressed satisfaction with his overall performance at Monza.
