McLaren: Piastri ‘outright speed’ will combat race pace concerns
Piastri admitted after his podium finish at Suzuka that he needs to improve his overall race management. Despite outqualifying his teammate, he was instructed to let his teammate pass him during the race, resulting in a significant gap between them at the end. However, McLaren’s Stella believes that Piastri will improve his race pace as he gains experience as a driver. He emphasized that race pace is not a set skill that can be applied to every race, as each situation presents its own challenges. Stella praised Piastri’s qualifying performance at Suzuka, stating that his underlying speed is a strong foundation to build upon.
