Oscar Piastri admitted that asking for McLaren team orders would not have been fair to his teammate Lando Norris, as he received a 10-second penalty for a safety car infringement that cost him the Formula 1 British Grand Prix victory. The penalty saw Piastri lose the lead to Norris and allowed Max Verstappen to overtake him after an incident on lap 21. Despite being frustrated and upset with the outcome, Piastri respected McLaren’s decision not to implement team orders and congratulated Norris after the race. Piastri emphasized that the result does not change his approach to the championship battle and plans to use the frustration as motivation for future races. He also redirected attention to Nico Hulkenberg’s first F1 podium, inquiring about his experience with a LEGO trophy.
