The clash at the Italian Grand Prix was one of the standout moments of the season as McLaren won the constructors’ title.
McLaren boss Zak Brown admits the team made a mistake in handling Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri at last year’s Italian Grand Prix, where Piastri overtook Norris for the lead. This move potentially cost Norris the win and valuable championship points against title rival Max Verstappen. Brown acknowledges that McLaren failed to impose proper team orders at Monza, but later adjusted their strategy to support Norris in the championship battle. Despite the Monza incident, Brown remains focused on winning the Constructors’ Championship and minimizing errors. The team’s reflections on the race are captured in the new season of Drive to Survive on Netflix. Brown chooses not to dwell on whether this misstep will impact their championship aspirations.
