Oscar Piastri’s manager is Mark Webber – and he knows a thing or two about team orders.
Oscar Piastri confirmed that Mark Webber, his manager, was involved in discussions regarding McLaren’s team orders saga. Piastri and Lando Norris are both enjoying the competitive MCL38, with Norris being more likely to mount a drivers’ championship charge, as he is just 52 points behind Max Verstappen, while Piastri is in fourth place, another 42 points behind. Team orders became a topic of discussion after incidents in Hungary and Italy, leading to the implementation of ‘papaya rules’ at Monza. Despite a poor start for Norris in Monza, Piastri passed him early in the race, affecting Norris’ position. Norris later handed back the lead to Piastri after discussions with his race engineer. Piastri stated that Webber, drawing from his experience at Red Bull, has provided guidance on working collaboratively with the team in such situations.
