Oscar Piastri addresses McLaren's decision to adopt team orders from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix onwards.
Ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, McLaren boss Andrea Stella confirmed to the BBC that they will now adopt team orders in certain scenarios to support Norris’ championship bid.Given McLaren are the fastest team in F1 currently, combined with Red Bull’s dip in form, it’s feasible Norris could win this year’s world title.Speaking to media in Baku, where“It still needs some more discussion,” Piastri said.
“That’s where it becomes a little bit tricky still. We need to continue discussing that. It’s not simply a blanket ‘I am going to be behind Lando in every single race in every decision ever taken from here on out’ because I still have things I want to achieve in the championship, trying to boost my standing in the tdrivers’ championship.
Assessing the team orders decision as a whole, Piastri admitted he has to think about the “bigger picture” for the team.
