Ever since the Hungarian Grand Prix, McLaren has come under a lot of criticism over their team orders. During that weekend, the team chose to pit Lando Norris first despite the Brit being behind Oscar Piastri on track. This put Norris in front of the Australian, despite Piastri having led the majority of the race. Eventually, Norris did return the position, but after a lot of debate between himself and the pit wall. Since then, McLaren has been under the watchful eye of fans and pundits alike regarding which driver they prioritise. Eddie Jordan believes they made a "very serious mistake" at Zandvoort.
