2016 Formula One champion Nico Rosberg has questioned McLaren Racing's team orders at Monza, when the team asked Oscar Piastri to hand second position back to Lando Norris after Norris experienced a slow pit stop. While McLaren likely tried to play a fair game, Rosberg suggested that the swap was "not so straight cut."
The last stage of the race saw Norris chasing race leader Max Verstappen in P2, while his teammate and championship rival Piastri was in P3. When the topic of pitting came up, McLaren agreed to Norris's request to pit Piastri first, but only on the condition that he would re-emerge in P2 after pitting second.
McLaren acknowledged and called in Piastri first, replacing the mediums on his MCL39 for soft compound tires. His pit stop lasted a staggering 1.9 seconds. Howeve
