‘Please help’ – F1 star Lando Norris pleads with McLaren during Oscar Piastri battle at Austrian GP
At the Austrian Grand Prix, McLaren F1 star Lando Norris sought help over team radio to fend off team-mate Oscar Piastri when they engaged in a fierce battle.
Although Norris ultimately finished first at the Red Bull Ring, Piastri put immense pressure on him in the closing stages of the race.
Starting from pole position at Spielberg, Norris was in the lead with Piastri quickly moving up to P2, creating an intense situation.
Despite Norris requesting assistance for more pace as Piastri closed in, the team could only advise him on his high-speed issues and the impact of traffic.
Even with some damage affecting his car towards the end, Norris successfully defended his position against Piastri in Austria, setting the stage for a potential rematch at his home race at Silverstone.
