It's an advantage for Norris in the Hungarian Grand Prix. McLaren serviced the Brit first in the pits, even though Oscar Piastri was in front of Norris. Lando Norris was in front of his Australian teammate after the round of pitstops. McLaren expects Lando Norris to give the position back to Oscar Piastri.

Piastri's race engineer, Tom Stallard, said: "Once we get to Lando we will swap positions. But we want to avoid Lando having to give up a lot of race time."

“We want to re-establish the order at your convenience," said Norris's engineer Will Joseph. 

Can Piastri catch his teammate and retake the position?
