Following the recent Italian Grand Prix incident, McLaren's principal, Andrea Stella, allows Norris and Piastri to race each other but emphasizes the need to maintain a clear on-track boundary. A collision at Monza raised questions about teammate competition dynamics.
Teammates Given Racing Freedom with a Perimeter ConstraintAfter the Italian Grand Prix clash, McLaren's principal, Andrea Stella, grants Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri the liberty to compete against each other but emphasizes the importance of maintaining a defined on-track boundary for safety. Stella said, “My role is to give them principles and a clear perimeter within which they can race. This is what we want to see. In terms of how you stay within the perimeter, it’s not for us to say because we are not the drivers.”
Stella acknowledges the recent teammate skirmish as a challenge in managing McLaren's racing dynamics. He emphasizes that drivers must exercise their own judgment to ensure safe and strategic racing while considering the team's goals.
McLaren Shifts Focus to 2024
As the 2023 season progresses, McLaren pauses its development efforts and redirects its focus towards 2024. Stella reveals that most teams are doing the same, with some minor updates expected in upcoming races due to logistical delays in parts delivery.
