POLL: Were McLaren right to tell Norris to allow Piastri past for Hungarian Grand Prix victory?
It's the talking point that was on everyone's lips after Oscar Piastri sealed his maiden Grand Prix victory in Hungary: should McLaren have implemented the team orders they did and asked Lando Norris to make way?
The 23-year-old Australian is now officially the 115th driver to win a World Championship Grand Prix, but he needed his team mate's co-operation in order to get there, having lost out at the second pit stops when Norris was brought in first.
McLaren then made the call to re-establish the previous order, after Piastri's exemplary getaway at the start which saw him lead for much of the race at the Hungaroring. As the team pleaded with Norris to swap positions, the Brit eventually relented just two laps from the end.
But do you believe that was the right choice? Should McLaren have allowed Norris to go on to secure the victory? Let us know in our poll below...
