Stella on Norris and Piastri's fair racing in Hungary
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella said the battle between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in the Hungarian Grand Prix was “great racing”, and that Piastri apologised after making an angry radio comment about the team’s strategy. Stella said: "Let me say that immediately after the race, Oscar clarified that his comment was a comment in anger, and that what happened today, in terms of how the race unfolded, the competition between the two McLaren drivers was all fair, and it was great racing. So from this point of view, I think we are pretty happy with the racing that we have seen today."

Stella on pitting Piastri first to cover Hamilton undercut
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella said the team had to pit Oscar Piastri first at the Hungarian Grand Prix to protect against Lewis Hamilton’s undercut. Stella said: "If you look at the race trace, you will see that when Hamilton pits, he is in condition to undercut the two McLarens, so we needed to respond. Because if that was the right way to take the cars to victory, we needed to have a McLaren in a position of leading that way ahead of Hamilton. So, it was either Oscar or Lando. Oscar was in the lead, and we thought that he was the right car to stop for that."

Lindblad and Lawson on blue-flag confusion
Racing Bulls drivers Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson said blue-flag confusion and wider system issues contributed to the incident at the Hungaroring that prompted Max Verstappen to call them “morons” and demand penalties. Verstappen lost time trying to lap the pair as they went side-by-side through Turn 2, with Lindblad saying the “system” was unclear: “Then they never showed the numbers. They just showed a blue flag, which was not the most useful message.” Lawson said he “was just trying not to get in the way” and added: “I wasn't getting lapped, so I didn't have to let them go.”
