McLaren team principal Andrea Stella has no issues with Oscar Piastri’s request for team orders following his penalty at the Formula 1 British Grand Prix. Piastri received a penalty for braking erratically behind the safety car, affecting the race outcome. Despite Piastri’s request to overtake his teammate Lando Norris, Stella supports the team’s decision not to swap positions, as it would not have been fair given the circumstances. The team encourages drivers to speak their minds and communicate openly, as Piastri did during the race. McLaren’s strategy was to allow Piastri to retain the lead in case of a safety car, but transitioned to slick tires later on, maintaining the race order. Stella believes their handling of the situation was fair to both drivers, and he expects Piastri to understand and agree with the decision.
