Lando had stopped before Oscar, who had beaten him for the 1^st place on the run down to Turn 1 because the team were worried about the chance of Lewis Hamilton getting ahead of them.

For a very long time it seemed like Lando would not let his teammate to get the lead and the TV feed provided 15 laps of remarkable exchanges between Norris and McLaren race engineer. His race engineer even told Lando that he believes that he would do the right thing and to remember the meeting each Sunday between them.

That makes the next race at the Belgian GP very intriguing about what will happen with McLaren after today’s episode.
