SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Lando Norris said he was "not proud" that McLaren's team orders controversy at the end of the Hungarian Grand Prix overshadowed teammate Oscar Piastri's first win. With the two McLaren drivers cruising towards a 1-2 victory last weekend, the team's pit wall decided to pit Norris first to minimise any potential threat from Lewis Hamilton in third place. In doing so, Norris' fresh tyre advantage saw Piastri emerge behind him when he made his own pit stop two laps later, with McLaren then ordering Norris to give the lead back. It took 15 laps, interspersed with increasingly tense radio messages, for Norris to slow down and let Piastri past, although he later claimed he always intended to hand the position back.
Lando Norris isn’t too thrilled about the team orders overshadowing Oscar Piastri’s first win. With McLaren's strategy leading to some tense moments, Norris had to let Piastri pass after getting a fresh set of tires. 
Despite the drama, Norris said he always planned to hand the lead back. It’s a bummer it stole some of the spotlight from Piastri’s big moment.
