Piastri is in an intense battle with his teammate Lando Norris for this year&#8217;s drivers&#8217; crown.\n\nThe situation became tense at the Italian Grand Prix, where Piastri saw his lead in the standings reduced by three points, remaining with 31 points, after complying with a controversial team order.\n\nMcLaren&#8217;s team order, which asked Piastri to concede second place to Norris after a delay in Norris&#8217;s tire change, generated debate.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We&#8217;ve had very good discussions this week about what happened and what can be clarified, what can be improved.<\/p><cite>Oscar Piastri<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nPiastri has expressed his confidence in McLaren&#8217;s handling of the situation, highlighting the importance of protecting the team&#8217;s success to ensure his own success.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0727%2Fr1524335_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Oscar Piastri (izquierda) quiere asegurar que el \u00e9xito del equipo McLaren est\u00e9 protegido en la lucha por el t\u00edtulo de este a\u00f1o.\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Oscar Piastri (izquierda) quiere asegurar que el \u00e9xito del equipo McLaren est\u00e9 protegido en la lucha por el t\u00edtulo de este a\u00f1o.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nWhen asked if he would adopt a more aggressive approach in the remaining eight races to secure the championship, Piastri replied that he would not do so &#8220;at the cost of future success. Definitely not.&#8221;\n\nThe incident in Monza was further complicated by McLaren&#8217;s strategy, which stopped its drivers outside their usual sequence to defend Piastri&#8217;s third position against the threat of Charles Leclerc.\n\nNorris even suggested by radio that Piastri pit before him, on the condition that his teammate did not gain a position.\n\nMcLaren performed Piastri&#8217;s tire change in 1.9 seconds, the fastest pit stop of the season, while Norris&#8217;s took 5.9 seconds, relegating him to third place.\n\nInitially, Piastri questioned the team order, but ultimately complied.\n\nPiastri explained that, although he questioned the order over the radio, as drivers usually do, he felt obliged to comply with the team&#8217;s instructions once the request was reiterated.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oscar Piastri has ruled out adopting a more ruthless approach in the fight for this year&#8217;s title if that jeopardizes his long-term success with McLaren.
