‘Greedy’ McLaren must take ‘responsibility’ for British GP decisions – Stella
Andrea Stella believes McLaren was “a little greedy” and needs to take “responsibility” for the two wrong calls that cost them a chance at victory in the British Grand Prix. The team’s decision to delay Oscar Piastri’s pit stop on slick tires instead of opting for a double-stack cost them valuable time and led to dropping from the lead to sixth place. Additionally, choosing soft tires over mediums for Lando Norris during the switch to slicks resulted in degradation and losing second place to Max Verstappen. Stella admits that McLaren should have been more assertive in their decision-making and not succumb to doubts, emphasizing the importance of making the right calls in challenging conditions like steady rain. Reflecting on the mistakes made, he acknowledges that lessons have been learned and improvements will be made for future races.
