Lando Norris was booed after McLaren ordered his team-mate and title rival Oscar Piastri aside as this season’s world championship battle took a controversial twist at Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix.

Norris, who finished runner-up to Red Bull’s winner Max Verstappen, backed McLaren’s contentious move to usher Piastri out of the way after the Englishman fell behind him following a slow late pit-stop.
