Stella: "Unacceptable" crash shows McLaren drivers put themselves above team

During lap 24 of the race, there was a collision between the McLaren drivers, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, at the first chicane. Piastri rejoined the track alongside Norris, resulting in contact between their cars.

Stella affirmed that McLaren’s duo were “free to race,” but stated that they should respect the team’s principles and stay within the established parameters.
