McLaren fucked Piastri’s race when they asked him not to overtake Norris.
I don’t think so. They only asked him not to overtake him for a short period of time, where they were lapping backmarkers and the track conditions were bad. From a team perspective it makes no difference which cars are first and second, just that they actually bring the cars home in that order.
That short amount of time has devastating effects on the mental of the faster driver stuck behind the slower one.
