Oscar Piastri triumphant in Hungary as Lando Norris made to follow McLaren order

A furious Lando Norris was forced to give up the second Formula One victory of his career after he followed a McLaren team order to allow Oscar Piastri to win a controversial Hungarian Grand Prix.

A mediocre getaway from pole position at the Hungaroring saw Norris drop behind team-mate Piastri.

But he was handed an apparent lifeline by McLaren when they pulled him in for his second tyre change two laps earlier than his team-mate.

The undercut propelled Norris into the lead, and he held a five-second advantage over Piastri.

However, the Englishman faced a barrage of orders from his race engineer, Will Joseph, to give the place back to Piastri despite his pursuit of Max Verstappen for the world championship.
