迈凯伦车队的奥斯卡·皮亚斯凭借兰多·诺里斯的帮助，在卡塔尔F1短程赛中获胜，而马克斯·维斯塔潘则错失杆位，让乔治·罗素捡了个便宜。

Lando Norris disregarded team orders and handed his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri the sprint race in Qatar on Saturday, while Max Verstappen was stripped of the pole position. His penalty elevated George Russell to first on the grid. With McLaren eyeing its first F1 constructors' title in 26 years and Russell close behind for Mercedes, Norris was told by the team over the radio to "finish in this order," ahead of Piastri. He chose to gift his teammate the win anyway, easing off on the exit of the final corner and swooping back across in front of Russell, who finished third. "I didn't mind," Norris said. "I'm not here to win sprint races. I'm here to win races and the championship, but that didn't go to plan." Norris was paying Piastri back for doing the same in the sprint race in Brazil when Norris was still fighting Verstappen for the drivers' title. "I made my mind up in Brazil when it happened," Norris said. "I needed to do something to give it back." Piastri said he hadn't expected Norris to take the risk. "I was aware it could happen," he said. "I was a bit surprised that with George half a second (away) it did." It shows off our teamwork and the lack of egos within the team, McLaren's race tactics have often been a talking point this season. On Saturday, Norris started on pole position and kept the lead at the start as Piastri squeezed past Russell for second. As Russell repeatedly attacked Piastri, Norris dropped back instead of building a lead. That put Piastri within one second of Norris, allowing the Australian to use the DRS overtaking aid for extra speed. The Mercedes driver complained over the radio that it was "super dangerous" that he'd had to avoid Verstappen, who was ahead of him on the racing line as both drivers prepared for their final runs of qualifying. The stewards agreed Verstappen was going too slowly as he tried to cool his tires but didn't apply the usual three-place penalty because neither driver was trying to set a fast time. Verstappen returned to form in qualifying, beating Russell by just .055 of a second on his last run. McLaren increased its lead over Ferrari in the constructors' championship to 30 points, and has both of its drivers ahead of the Ferraris on the grid. 翻译：兰多·诺里斯无视了车队的指令，在周六的卡塔尔大奖赛的冲刺赛中把他的迈凯伦车队队友奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里交给了冲刺赛的冠军，而迈凯伦车队则渴望在26年后赢得F1制造商的冠军，并且格雷格·罗素也紧随其后。而诺里斯被车队通过无线电告知要“以这个顺序完成”，领先于皮亚斯特里。他仍然选择将胜利慷慨地送给他的队友，尽管他在最后的一个弯道中从右侧超越了格雷格·罗素并让给了他一个完美的位置，他最终获得第三名。诺里斯说：“我不在乎，”诺里斯说。“我来到这里不是为了赢得冲刺赛的冠军。我是为了赢得比赛和冠军而来的，但这并没有按计划进行。”诺里斯在巴西的冲刺赛中做了同样的事情来回报皮亚斯特里，当时他还在与Verstappen争夺冠军。他说：“我做了决定在巴西的时候。”“我需要做点什么来回报。”皮亚斯特里说他没有想到诺里斯会冒险。他说：“我知道这可能会发生。”他说他有点惊讶的是，当格雷格·罗素落后了半秒时，它真的发生了。这表明我们的团队合作和团队内部缺乏自我意识。“本赛季，迈凯伦的比赛战术常常成为讨论的焦点，就像在匈牙利，诺里斯和皮亚斯特里在长时间的无线电交流后交换了领先位置一样。周六，诺里斯以杆位起步并在开始时保持领先，皮亚斯特里通过罗素的阻挡获得了第二名。当罗素不断攻击皮亚斯特里时，诺里斯后退而不是建立领先地位。这使皮亚斯特里距离诺里斯只有一秒之差，这让澳大利亚可以利用DRS超车加速器获得额外速度。周六排位赛结束后，格雷格·罗素表示对迈凯伦车队的团队合作感到“非常生气”，并还对皮亚斯特里的迟到防守行为表示不满。“希望周日我们能有一场真正的比赛，而不是这种车队指令的无聊。”罗素说。这位F1冠军以为他自从六月奥地利大奖赛后就会拥有首个杆位，但是长时间的车队调查因在预排位赛最后一个圈被对手阻挡而被惩罚一个位置后去掉了他的优势。
