The McLaren CEO has reacted to the team orders drama last time out in Hungary.
McLaren CEO Zak Brown expressed relief that Lando Norris did not fight Oscar Piastri for victory in Hungary.

This allowed Norris to undercut Piastri, who eventually retook the lead on lap 68. Norris later apologized for overshadowing Piastri’s win and Brown acknowledged they could have managed the situation better. Brown confirmed they would have let Norris have a fair shot at passing Piastri on-track if he had allowed him through earlier. Overall, Brown was pleased with the outcome and identified areas for improvement in communication within the team.
