Why would McLaren not want Norris to win being 2nd in the championship? Have they given up on catching Verstappen already? Weird to give 1st to your 2nd driver, no?

They gave preference to Lando on the last stop to ensure a 1-2 finish. As part of that choice, Lando needed to give it back to Piastri. It's not that they don't believe in Lando, but team points are more important than driver points. Unfortunately, it created an absolute cluster because Lando was obviously faster the last stint. At the end of the day, Lando shouldn't have bottled up the start and he wouldn't have been in that position.

1-2 makes sense. But they had that either way. Seems like they’ve given up. Usually you’d ask piastri to move back to support Norris even if he deserved to win. Weird
