Stella admits Canada clash could lead to ‘tough conversations’

The director of the McLaren team, Andrea Stella, reiterated the full support of the team to Lando Norris after her collision with Oscar Pastri at the Canada Grand Prix, although she acknowledged that some “difficult” conversations coup in the Tead.

Norris ran into the back of Piasstri in the well directly when he tried to advance his teammate, and the couple has already changed clean position through the two previous corners. The British accepted all the responsibility immediately after the incident, and Stella says that the way McLaren will support Norris to help retain trust could have been different had not done that.

“It is obviously an episode that cost him championship points,” Stella said. “It is an episode for his own admission, he said:” The principle was clear, I just made a bad judgment. “He never came to say:” Let’s talk about that. “

“Therefore, this can have an impact in terms of your trust, but a team depends on us to show our full support for Lando, and in this I want to be completely clear, it is a total support for Lando.

“We have some conversations, and the conversations can be difficult, but there is no doubt about the support we give to Lando, and about the fact that we will preserve our parity and equality in terms of how we are going to run in Mosleen Ens. Responsibility and apologies.

“Today we go to 24 races and sprints, so more and more situations in which we can have episodes thesis,” he said. “I think that having experienced, instead of having spoken, even if the conversations we had were certainly strong, shocking and absorbed, but having an experience of this child or situation, I think it will only make us stronger as a team, and in terms and terms and terms and terms and terms and terms and terms and terms and terms and terms and terms and terms and terms.

” [Canada’s collision] Indeed, only a matter of distance between the two cars. There is nothing like a driver who wants to demonstrate something else.

“In any case, the dangerous situation was closer to the last Chicana when they were next to the other. And I saw some wisdom there.”
