via gpfans.comMcLaren F1 boss warns Oscar Piastri that he must improve in Lando Norris battleMcLaren's team principal Andrea Stella has expressed concerns about Oscar Piastri's performance during the 2026 Formula 1 season, indicating that the driver needs to enhance his form to compete more effectively against teammate Lando Norris.

via f1oversteer.comMartin Brundle and Nico Rosberg won’t accept McLaren explanation for Oscar Piastri’s drop-offMcLaren has cited Oscar Piastri's driving style as a key factor in his disappointing performance during the 2026 season, where he has only managed two podium finishes in the first 14 races. Team principal Andrea Stella mentioned that Piastri struggles with the MCL40 due to reduced downforce, which has made the car more challenging to handle.
