McLaren Explains Controversial Team Orders Between Norris and Piastri at Monza

Why it matters:McLaren's decision to issue team orders at the Italian Grand Prix, asking 오스카 피아스트리 to cede position to 란도 노리스, has been explained by team principal 안드레아 스텔라. This controversial move aimed to rectify a pit stop error and maintain track position.### The details:Late in the Monza race, McLaren opted for a long first stint, aiming to pit both cars for soft tires.피아스트리, running third, pitted first to cover 샤를 르클레르. 노리스 pitted the following lap but suffered a slow stop.After 노리스's stop, 피아스트리 emerged ahead. However, he was instructed to give the position back to 노리스 due to the earlier pit stop issue.While 피아스트리 initially questioned the order, deeming slow stops "part of racing," he complied. 노리스 finished second, and 피아스트리 third, maintaining 노리스's championship lead.### McLaren's rationale:안드레아 스텔라 confirmed it was a pit wall decision."We not only had the problem at the pit stop, but we also sequenced the pit stops in a way where we definitely wanted to retain the position after the pit stops, but somehow the positions changed.""We felt that the right thing to do was to go back to the original position and then let them race."스텔라 thanked 피아스트리 for his cooperation, highlighting the team's principles and values.
