In that case McLaren don't care about Norris winning the WDC in 2024. Which is fine.
It is entirely possible that Piastri has a contract which expressly prevents Piastri from having secondary status until Piastri is mathematically eliminated. Mark Webber may have insisted on it.
Piastri made clear before the Italian GP that there were no team orders and he was intending to attempt to win the Italian GP. It's obvious better for Piastri if he has 3, 4, 5 wins and Norris only 2, instead of Piastri 1 and Norris 5-6 wins.
Hungary was merely correcting that Norris was given the undercut on Piastri, Norris was not entitled to that win so it should not be used as any kind of evidence or indication of anything. Norris may been have immediately dismissed from McLaren had he ignored the requirement to reinvert the positions there.
