McLaren’s Lando Norris has admitted he did not handle the team orders controversy which marred the Hungarian Grand Prix last week well, admitting that he was not proud of himself and that he would behave differently if the situation arose again.

In Budapest Norris ignored orders to allow teammate Oscar Piastri back into the lead after the British driver had gained the place through a team decision to send him into the pits first. He was repeatedly told to concede the place but chose not to for 17 laps, only moving over three laps from the end to allow Piastri through for his debut F1 win.
