McLaren opted to implement a team order towards the end of the Italian Grand Prix after Lando Norris suffered a slow pit stop.
The problem occurred one lap after Oscar Piastri was serviced for his one and only pit stop of the race, which was carried out in a neat 1.9 seconds.
A wheel gun issue for Norris ensured he rejoined the track behind his championship rival, having been in front for the entirety of the grand prix up to that point.
McLaren informed Piastri he needed to give the position back, preventing the Australian from extending his title lead even further.
But do you think McLaren was right to carry out the order, or should it have let the race play out naturally?
