This race led to a wider team orders d🤡iscussion at McLaren and whether Piastri should support Norris’ title bid.
When asked about teams orders in Brazil, Piastri replied: “I mean we will see what the pace is like tomorrow for both of us. I think fiꦰrst and𝔍 second is the first objective then we will see what order it is.
“I kno🐽w that I am not in the running for the drivers’ standings. For the team, it doesn’t matter which way around we are. I know that’s the case. We will see what happens.”
When pressed on whether he would move over for his teammate, Piastri added: “Yes. I said I would when we first had these discussions. It would be nice ꦰto win but i🍸t’s one point difference.
“It’s not the main race. We will see. Lando ཧneeds the points in the drivers’ standings a lot more than I do but of course I want to win.
“If I put in the effort an✱d have good pace then I a൲m sure that won’t go unnoticed. Let’s see.”
Norris was the heavy𓂃 favourite goiౠng into SQ3 for pole having led the sessions leading up to it.
Aftꦿer the first run in SQ3, Piastr﷽i was nearly 0.3s off.
Explaining what the “key to pole” was for Piastri, he said: “I am not sure really. The very first lap of the session in SQ1 I put in a really good lap and I didn’t do another one at the end of SQ1. I think the track was just really moving on really quickly💟. I think💜 it was like 1.5s faster by the end. I think I was catching up a little bit through the rest of the runs.
“The last🅘 lap on softs, it hung on for a second lap which was nice and I managed to put it on pole.ꦬ”
