Lando Norris held on the podium after the McLaren team ordered the Italian Grand Prix

Norris, who finished finalist of the winner of Red Bull, Max Verstappen, supported McLaren’s controversial move to Usher Piastri out of the way after the Englishman fell behind him after a slow late stand.

However, Norris was mocked by the tifosi gathered under the podium when he collected his trophy for crossing the line in second position, a place in front of Piastri.

“I heard them, but I don’t know what I mean,” said Norris. “The acclamations were stronger than the hoots, and it is the most important thing.”

Norris had been on the right track to finish a comfortable and deserved finalist until a defective front wheel pistol at his only stand stop leaving him stationary for 5.9 seconds.

Piastri assumed second place and the opportunity to extend his 34 -point championship advance at 37.

However, a week after the Norris engine failure in Zandvoort saw him leaving the Netherlands empty -handed, McLaren called Piastri to exchange positions – a decision that was not content with comfortably with the Australian.

“We said that a slow stop was part of the race, so I haven’t really changed here,” he said, before adding: “But I will do it.”

In the 49th round of 53, Piastri allowed Norris de Norris. The exchange caused a amusement of Verstappen, which crossed the 19.2 seconds line.

“Just because of a slow stop?” He laughed when he informed that Norris and Piastri had exchanged positions. Norris is now lying around 31 points with eight laps to play.

When asked if he feared that Pitri would not leave him, Norris replied: “No, because that’s what we decided as a team and we all agree.”

He continued: “Each situation is different, so it is quite stupid to say that a precedent has been put in place.

“We are not idiots and we have plans for different things.

“If there were four cars between me and Oscar, of course, he will not let me go back, and it’s correct. But if there is a situation where we run and you can be fair, you expect to be just as a team.

“Today was not my fault. If I came flat in my box and hit all my mechanisms, I would not expect to recover the position. It was out of my control.

“I don’t want to win this way, and the same with Oscar. But we do what we think is a team correct, no matter what people say and what their opinions are, and we will stay with it. ”

Norris has aroused criticism of a series of bad escapades in the last 18 months, but here it has been quickly alongside Red Bull of Pole-Sitter Verstappen on the trail of 200 MPH to the Del Retifilo variant.

Verstappen held its line and, when the tarmac has shrunk, Norris dropped two wheels on the grass but carried enough momentum to stay at the chicane level.

McLaren de Norris occupied the interior of the first turn and Verstappen went to the escape road before joining the track and keeping his advance.

“What F ***,” said Norris. “What is this idiot doing?” Come on. He put me on the grass and then he just cut the corner. ”

At the beginning of the second round, Verstappen allowed Norris to avoid a possible investigation by the stewards. But Verstappen was not ready to let Norris take down and he pushed the fourth round.

Verstappen never looked back as he claimed the first triumph of the Grand Prix de Red Bull in the post-Christian Horner era.

“He was close to nervousness,” said Norris about his fight in the opening corner with Verstappen. “But that’s what you expect from Max. In the end, its pace was far too good.”

Charles Leclerc took fourth for Ferrari, a place ahead of George Russell de Mercedes. Lewis Hamilton set up four -seater from the 10th – after serving a five -seater grid penalty – to finish sixth.
