Team Orders

Not too sure I agree with  making Oscar give second
to Lando. Seems to me a slow pit stop is a part of the race.

And Lewis couldn't help Charles with a little tow

Either call would have been fine by McLaren.  Lando did make the call on who was pitting first.

As a fan, it is nice seeing them make the choice to make the championship a little closer.

This felt like manipulation of the race to me, and I was sad to see it.

I was amused, however, to find that when McLaren did this in Hungary 2024 in the opposite direction, the thread was also called "Team Orders" and also opened by Dare. I guess this topic will always be fuel for forum discussions ;)
