I'll respond with one post instead of replying to a bunch.
1) Team orders are team orders. They've been in F1 forever. And Norris knows that Piastri is good enough that if the team decides to back him all out, Norris is screwed. That's why he finally backed off. Like the engineer said, he proved his point. Now, do the agreed upon team thing.
2) This was none of the drivers' fault. So, I'm not upset with either one nor begrudge the way Piastri won his first race. The team screwed up. McLaren keeps tripping over their own dicks with their strategy.
3) Saying they were covering Hamilton was ridiculous. Norris came out five seconds ahead. How much more time could he possibly have lost if he ran one more lap (if they pitted Piastri first)? A second? Two seconds at most? Even if they totally botched it, the McLaren was way faster than Red Bull, so seeing Max having trouble passing Hamilton should not have been in the equation. Any McLaren was going to zip by Hamilton especially when you consider it would have had newer tires than Hamilton. See my previous statement on McLaren strategy...
4) I was shocked, though thoroughly enjoyed, how GP b*tchslapped Verstappen. He essentially called him childish in front of the world. The only thing I can think of is how is Jos going to react...? (Well, that and whether Max will ever learn.)
