McLaren’s leading director: “Norris-Piastri conflict”

McLaren saw her fight destroyed after the collision between the team’s drivers, Lado Norris and Oscar Plastri in the last rounds of the Grand Prix of Canada. The team’s racing manager, Andrea Stella, acknowledged that the conflict was “unacceptable”, and commented that Norris “paid a price in the league” as he left the match.

“Well, we never want to see a McLaren car get involved in an accident and certainly we don’t want to see the two McLaren get in touch, so this situation is a situation we know is not acceptable. At the same time, we appreciate the fact that Lado immediately assumed responsibility and apologized to the team, which for us somehow arranges the situation. I am sure he took an important lesson from this match, paid a price in the league. As I said, we appreciate his behavior immediately after the accident and we will continue to fight“, Stella stressed.

“It is not that the driver had an intention that was beyond the authorities, it was simply an incorrect appreciation of how close it was from the front car. If Lado had a different reaction, then there would certainly be serious discussions, but I think he immediately realized that he was just making a wrong calculation. This caused a problem with himself, in the group and was very close to causing a problem and Oscar“, He added.

It is recalled that the British was “chasing” Piastri in a “battle” for fourth place when he was initially in front of the Australian in the hairpin. After Piastri regained the pioneer, Norris again attempted to overtake his “homosexual” in the starting/ending line, but the British hit the back of the Pianstri. Immediately afterwards, Norris also hit the wall on the edge of the track, leaving, while Piastri managed to continue and hold fourth, as he entered the pie when a safety car had come out. Norris later apologized for the incident, with the 25 -year -old “pilot” to blame himself, while the fighters imposed a five -second British penalty because he was found to be responsible for the conflict.

Meanwhile, McLaren CEO Jacques Brown knit Norris’s praise, who acknowledged his mistake as he shared his thoughts on the match in Montreal on social media, where George Russell and Kimi Antoneli scored 1-3. Second on behalf of Red Bull. “Congratulations to Mercedes and Kimi for the first podium (he was the first win for the German team and the “maiden” pedestal in the 18 -year -old Italian career in Formula One)“Brown wrote on Instagram and added:”Wonderful Pete-Stop from the team, with fast cars and guides. And so, it happened. I appreciate honesty, Lado. Good match, Oscar. We learn. We go again together“
