Oscar Piastri has proved himself the perfect team man, gifting his Formula 1 world championship-chasing colleague Lando Norris victory for a McLaren one-two in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix sprint race. Having started on pole at Interlagos, Piastri was still in control at the head of the field in Saturday’s race with two laps left and in sight of the second sprint win of his flourishing career but instead followed team orders to let Norris come through and take the crucial victory.
Insisting he wasn’t fed up about being unable to celebrate another win in his impressive second F1 season, Piastri shrugged: “The team result was obviously what we wanted and what we spoke about before the race. “It is not as much fun as winning but I know the position we are in. We have been talking about this for months and this is the first time we have had to enforce it. “I would have preferred to have won but it is a sprint race and I don’t have much to fight for in the drivers’ standings.
