Max Verstappen had his say on the McLaren team order while still racing the Italian Grand Prix!
Max Verstappen expressed confusion regarding McLaren’s choice to switch their drivers after Lando Norris’s slow pit stop. McLaren delayed bringing their drivers in for a pit stop, with Piastri receiving quicker service than Norris due to a wheel gun issue. This pit stop problem allowed Piastri to overtake Norris, who had led the race until then. Despite being ordered to let Norris back through, in the interest of fairness, Piastri had gained an advantage similar to one Norris provided him in a past race. Verstappen, the race winner, was informed of the swap while leading and reminded to remain focused on the race ahead. Verstappen ultimately claimed victory, securing his third win of the season.
