Lando Norris gave his reaction to finishing second behind McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri at the Hungarian Grand Prix - and his answer appeared to say it all.

Norris qualified on pole position in Budapest, but lost the lead on lap one after Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen got past him.

Verstappen was then forced to let Norris back through after overtaking him off track, with Piastri leading Norris throughout the entirety of the opening two stints.

McLaren then decided to pit Norris first - despite him being in second on track - in order to fend off the undercut from other drivers, with the Brit ending up in the lead through overcutting Piastri.

The team then asked Norris to let Piastri back through, and after several back-and-forths on team radio with engineer Will Joseph, the Brit did eventually cede his position to give his team-mate his first Grand Prix victory.

After the race, the drivers did appear to be on good terms - but Norris' answer when asked by Nico Rosberg about the incident appeared to say it all.

He met the question with a rather blank expression, before replying: "The team asked me to do it, so I did it. So yeah, that's it."

When Rosberg said he wouldn't probe any further, Norris simply smiled back at him.

He did, however, praise Piastri on his first Grand Prix victory, stating: "I'm so happy [with the one-two]. It's been a long journey to completing this on merit, and that's exactly what we did today.

"We were a long way clear of the rest, and we did it in style as well, so a good one from the team.

"And of course to Oscar, he had a good start, he got me off the line and he controlled the race as well. It was coming at some point, and he deserved it today."
