Should Oscar Piastri be annoyed with McLaren's HungarianGP strategy?
‘Oscar Piastri and his manager Mark Webber will be concerned about that’Losing out in McLaren’s strategy as the undercut gave Lando Norris the advantage, former F1 driver Martin Brundle can’t see Oscar Piastri or his manager Mark Webber being happy about that.
Maintaining a small gap over Norris, who had Hamilton behind him, McLaren made the call to pit the Briton first with the undercut resulting in Piastri coming out of the pits after his stop only metres ahead of his team-mate.Norris, with his tyres rubbered in, took mere seconds to pass the Australian, a move that set him up for the second place with Piastri later losing ground to Sergio Perez and also Hamilton.
“He was running front McLaren and got the second pit stop. So the undercut there has moved them around. Maybe that’s what McLaren wanted.”, grilled McLaren CEO Zak Brown over McLaren’s strategy before team boss Andrea Stella was also called on to defend it. “In terms of the undercut that we had at the first stop, you just go really with the sequence that is natural, because you cover with the car that is more at risk,” he said, “and then you cover with the other car.“To be honest, our approach to these situations is to think about the team first. We think as a team, and then we deal with the internal situation.”As for Piastri, he was pragmatic about the situation especially as he finished the grand prix 30 seconds down on his team-mate.
