Bernie Ecclestone has his say on McLaren’s team order saga at the Italian Grand Prix
Former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone believes that McLaren’s use of team orders at the Italian Grand Prix indicates a bias towards one of their drivers. McLaren instructed Oscar Piastri to let Lando Norris pass him during the race at Monza. The decision was made after Piastri stopped first and Norris encountered a delay during his pit stop. Ecclestone raised concerns about the fairness of penalizing Piastri for a team mistake that was out of his control. With only 31 points separating Piastri and Norris in the championship standings, the debate around team orders and fairness in racing continues.
