McLaren have admitted they may “revise” their position on not having a number one driver later in the F1 2024 season.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri claimed a maiden grand prix victory as he led teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris in a McLaren one-two in Hungary, but the result was overshadowed by a controversial and heated r🔯ow over team orders.

McLaren repeatedly asked Norris to give the lead back to Piastri,🌼 after a decision to pit Norꦺris first in the final round of stops resulted in him undercutting his teammate. Following several protests and tense team radio exchanges, the Briton eventually obliged with three laps to go.

Norris sits second in the championship, 76 points behind reigning world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, while Pias𒐪tri is a further 40 points adrift in fifth. With Norriꦦs being closer to Verstappen in the standings, there had been some suggestions McLaren should have let him win to cut the gap further.

Stella suggested that depending on how the🌃 championship picture develops over the coming months, a different stance may be required in the future.

“I think when you have Oscar and Land💜o, we are in the lucky enough position that we don't really need to decide who is a number one driver,” he told media incl🐻uding in Hungary.

“Which is a way o♔f simplifying things for some people, like ꦫmyself, and it's a way to frustrate the entire team, the ambition and the way we go racing, which is deep in our ethos.

“We race fair and if one of the 🍌two drivers gains on merit a result, this is protected. Maybe if it's the last couple of races and there's a strong championship interest for one of the two drivers, we may revise this.”

Stella, whose team have now jumped ahead of Ferrari and into second in the constructors’ championship, added: “But what I'm expecting is the other driver coming to me and saying if you need my help with the other driver be♈cause he is in the championship competition, I'm available.

"And I think you build this ethos if you manage days like today in a fair way like I thi෴nk we have done. This may give a lot of material for rumours and kind of media. That's fa🐼ir enough. That's racing.

“To be honest, I enjoyed this week as a spectator, as a fan, when these things were happening 🌱even when I was not in Formula 1. That's fair enough.

“But please acknowledge that we just did what was fair today. And this is what I want the entire team of McLaren to rea🦂lise. And hopefully our fans as well.”
