Ironic moment in Azerbaijan Grand Prix: McLaren dish out team orders

During the F1 weekend, when McLaren was expected to start helping Lando Norris in his bid for the 2024 Formula 1 World Championship, it was actually Norrs himself playing the wingman role to his teammate Oscar Piastri. The McLaren team told Norris to try and hold up Sergio Perez so that the Australian wouldn't be undercut by the Mexican. In the end, Piastri returned to the track ahead of Perez, so the plan for McLaren worked during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
