Formula 1: McLaren’s Italy Team Orders Reflect ‘values And Principles’, Says Stella
Italian Grand Prix: McLaren team principal Andrea Stella has defended the call that saw Oscar Piastri asked to move aside for Lando Norris during the Italian Grand Prix, insisting the decision was rooted in the team’s “values and principles” rather than any past incidents.
Norris and Piastri spent much of Sunday’s race running in second and third, before briefly forming a 1-2 when Red Bull’s Max Verstappen pitted earlier on a different strategy. McLaren responded by bringing in Piastri on Lap 45 and Norris on Lap 46, but a slow pit stop for the Briton meant he rejoined behind his teammate in third – a setback in his fight for the drivers’ championship.
To restore order, McLaren quickly instructed Piastri to yield position to Norris, referencing last year’s Hungarian Grand Prix when the roles were reversed. Norris duly reclaimed second and held it to the chequered flag, trimming Piastri’s title lead from 34 points to 31.
