The McLaren team missed out on a potential victory at Silverstone due to strategic errors made by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in challenging weather conditions. Despite their recent success, McLaren has faltered in races in Canada, Spain, and Britain, falling short of securing wins due to various shortcomings. The team’s decision not to doublestack Pitastri last weekend and Norris’s mistimed pit stop onto slick tires cost them opportunities to secure victories. McLaren’s performance improvement has been acknowledged, but team boss Stella emphasizes the importance of learning from these near misses to continue building and improving. Stella also refutes claims that McLaren has the fastest car, pointing out that Mercedes outperformed them in drier conditions at Silverstone, emphasizing the need for ongoing development and improvement within the team.
