The call to swap places was fair enough, given that calling PIA in was a

But I reckon NOR shot himself in the foot by not letting PIA past at the
earliest opportunity. If he had, he would have had more laps in which to
 potentially overtake him and win the race.

Difficult to imagine this sort of situation arising when Ron Dennis was in
charge (also difficult to imagine Schumacher/Senna/Vettel complying).

Given that Norris is well ahead of Piastri in the WDC, McLaren should have
let Lando win. Tough on Oscar, but F1 is a tough sport and his day will
come.

With McLaren apparently dominant it is not beyond the bounds of possibility
that Norris could win the WDC - I just hope he doesn’t miss out by less
than 7 points
