Later in the race, the roles were reversed when Ricciardo was on medium tires and was getting chased down by Norris. At that point, the team intervened once again and ordered the Briton not to make a move on Ricciardo.
After the race, team principal Andreas Seidl was questioned over the incident whether the two McLaren drivers were free to race. The German replied, saying:
McLaren drivers were ‘being ambitious and trying to have the best possible race’
During the 2022 F1 Azerbaijan GP, Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris were heard going on the team radio to question their hold-ups in passing each other. McLaren team principal Andreas Seidl has now claimed that there was nothing wrong with the team radio interactions with the drivers during the race. Rather, he was happy to hear both the drivers were trying to maximize their respective races.
The German said:
Ricciardo finished the race in 8th position while Norris finished in 9th, giving the team a double-point finish.
