Oscar Piastri’s decision not to run the new McLaren suspension is causing a headache for the team
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella revealed the potential logistical issue created by Oscar Piastri’s decision not to use the team’s new suspension upgrade, despite its introduction at the Canadian Grand Prix. The upgrade, unrelated to performance, was only chosen by Lando Norris, who faced challenges driving the MCL39. Despite a bumpy start with the new suspension, Norris improved, achieving promising results and narrowing the gap with Piastri in the championship standings. Stella hinted at a possible future assessment of Piastri testing the upgrade. Piastri clarified his stance, stating the change was not essential for his driving, prioritizing consistency and optimal performance with existing upgrades rather than incorporating the new suspension.
