Oscar Piastri to discuss team tactics with McLaren
During the Melbourne race, when the McLaren drivers were in first and second positions and Oscar Piastri was closing the gap on Lando Norris, the team contacted the Australian driver and ordered him not to overtake his team-mate. After the finish, Piastri said that he would discuss this moment with the team.
Oscar Piastri: "I think the race and the circumstances on the track were pretty extreme. We were catching up with the laps, there was only one dry track on the track, and we didn't know if it was going to rain.
With all this in mind, I'll talk to the team to better understand what they were thinking at that moment. But I think it's quite obvious that such instructions can come in the opposite direction."
