Christian Horner believes Mc꧅Laren were wrong with their strategy l𝓰ast weekend in Hungary.

McLaren’s Oscar Piastri won his first F1 grand prix, ahead of te♋ammate Lando Norris, but not without drama surrounding team orders.

A series♏ of increasingly urgent radio calls demanded Norris yield his position back to Piastri - which he eventually did, after many laps of seemingly ignoring them.

However, their Red Bull counterparts think it was ﷽wrong not to prioritise Norris.

"Lando is the experienced dri𝕴ver and the No1 driver, I assume,” Red Bull team principal Horner tol🐬d Sky Sports.

“It's standa💛rd p♏ractice to give the lead driver the first stop. They could have done that quite easily with Oscar.

"But they gave a two-lap undercut to Lando, so obviously wante♋d him ahead of Oscar.

“Having put him ahead, it's tough on the driver to say 'we want you to drop behind you💖r team-mate’.

"If this champioꦇnship is lost by seven points at the end of the year, every point🧸 counts.

“Different teams go racing in a 💧different way. But Lando is the closest challenger and you have tꦉo put your eggs in one basket, at some point."

Norris is second in the F1 standings ahead of today’s F1 Belg💧ian🅺 Grand Prix.

He is 76 points behind Verstappen, who is gunning for a♌ fourth title꧅ in a row.

Team orders will be scrutini🍌sed again at today’s Belgian Grand Prix.

The starting grid has a competitive feel, coupled with the famous overtaking opportunꦰities that the Spa circuit offers.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen qualified first but will start 🐲from 11th due to a grid penalty. He has previo𓆏usly won this grand prix from 14th on the grid.

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc is on pole, ahead of under-pressu🀅re Red Bull driver Sergio Perez.

Mercedes’ Lewis Hꦦamilton is third ahead of Norris, then Piastri.
