Piastri hints at ignoring McLaren after Lewis Hamilton advice
Australian F1 driver Oscar Piastri may consider heeding Lewis Hamilton’s advice regarding ignoring team orders, following an incident at the Singapore Grand Prix where Piastri felt aggrieved by actions of teammate Lando Norris during the race.
Piastri, currently leading the championship, was unhappy with McLaren’s refusal to swap positions with Norris after feeling he was unfairly treated on track.
Hamilton’s advice to Piastri was to not give up any more positions, drawing from his own experiences in similar situations.
With the constructors’ championship secured for McLaren, Piastri and Norris are expected to engage in more competitive battles in pursuit of the drivers’ title, with Max Verstappen also a contender.
As the season progresses, the intense competition between Piastri and Norris could provide opportunities for Verstappen to capitalize on any potential conflicts between the McLaren drivers.
