Scott McLaughlin reacts to McLaren's team orders at the Australian Grand Prix.

Team Penske's Scott McLaughlin reacted to McLaren's team orders to Oscar Piastri at the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday. The Woking-based team told the Aussie driver to hold his position and not race his teammate Lando Norris, who was leading.

Piastri maintained his second place at the start of the race and defended from the Redbull's charge. Piastri wanted to pass Norris but was told to hold position, to which he replied on the radio with, "I'm faster but ok".

McLaughlin took to X to post about how he felt about this. He also made sure to tag the race engineer.

"Great for Lando, but feel for OP. Home race getting told to hold pozzy, bit rich, first race of the year. I would’ve unplugged the radio, sorry @benbretzman 😂😂 " He wrote

The team radio confused the fans to a certain degree, which was explained by Zak Brown, McLaren's CEO, post-race. He explained how the team wanted to clear the lapped cars.

The team had managed to pull a gap of 15 seconds between themselves and Max Verstappen's Redbull. However, by the end of the race, Piastri beached the McLaren and fell out of contention for the podium places. He eventually managed to score 2 points in the end.
