, the McLaren F1 team confronted a strategic conundrum that thrust them even further into the spotlight after their first 1-2 win since the 2021 Italian Grand Prix. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, under the guidance of Team Principal Andrea Stella, grappled with team orders where Piastri led Norris before and after a pivotal pit stop sequence.
Reflecting on the incident, Andrea Stella admitted a crucial lapse in communication had taken place. He remarked on the need for "clearer and stronger" instructions from the pit wall, acknowledging advice from former F1 World Champion Nico Rosberg. Rosberg pointed out the ambiguity in telling Norris to "lift off at your convenience," describing it as a potential seed for confusion. "You need to be extremely clear and firm," Rosberg advised.
“I think there was a little more than a single comment, or message, from Will. There is an approach to racing that we have with our drivers, our team. We are on this trajectory together," he said. “None of us - the team, Lando, Oscar - can go alone. That’s the message we discussed on Sunday morning. With drivers, you need to refresh this message. That’s why we have this meeting every Sunday.
