McLaren’s orders to Oscar Piastri “went down like a cold flat white” after the young Aussie star was told to move aside for teammate Lando Norris at Albert Park.

The order F1 fans dread was passed to young Aussie star Oscar Piastri when he was running third in the Australian Grand Prix.

It was a kick in the stomach for a massive contingent of the home crowd decked out in orange to support the Australian driver. Fellow commentator Martin Brundle, always the straight shooter, replied that that’s life sometimes in motorsport.“What goes around comes around and they probably need to release Norris a little bit,” Brundle said.

“Norris they think is a touch quicker as well and can keep the pressure on Ferrari. That’s so important for them now.”“I have to tell you Crofty that went down like a cold flat white with the crowd, that position swap,” he said.“I think they understand it’s for the good of the McLaren team … knowing Lando is probably better placed with younger tyres.
