David Coulthard asked Oscar Piastri whether he should have overruled McLaren’s pit stop strategy at the F1 B♋ritish Grand Prix.

Teammate Lando Norris was leading at Silverstone unt🅘il an ill-timed pit stop, amid changing weather conditions, which allowed eventual winner Lewis Hamilton to undercut him.

Norris fi🐽nished third, a place ahead of Piastri, who also suffered from a strategy which confused Red Bull boss Christian Horner.

Piastri told Channel 4: “I feel like we’ve had too many weekends recently coming out of it feeling like we could have💖 won, on both sides of the garage.

“We did a lo🍌t of things right. But the one call that we nee✃ded to get right? We didn’t.

“It’s the hardest decision for an F1 team to make. Both cars 1-2, separated by half a second, rain coming. You need to decide if both pit, one stay🥃s out, or both pit.

“It doesn’t get any more high pressure than that.

“We left it too late. Double sta𝄹cking would have been the better call.”

Piastri add🍷ed: “From my side, it was still just about okay to be on slicks. But the extra lap that I stayed, it got worse.”

The Australia🐠n driver was told that, if McLaren chose tඣo double stack, they would have come home 1-2 at Silverstone.

“I know, it hurts,” he replied.

“At that point, I knew I’d lose a lot of time.

“Clearly 🎃the time I lost by staying ou♕t was a lot more.”

Piastri added: “Another lap, and I could’ve 𝓀been leading the race. “Which could hav🌌e changed the decision again, for when I pitted.

“The result is painful to swallow.”

Ex-F1 driver Coulthard then said to Piastri: “This throws me back to many years ago wh𒉰en I was at McLaren at the British Grand💝 Prix.

“I got out of sequജence in pit stops. I ended up doing four or five.

“I had doubt. I listened to the team because I♏ thought they had a bigger picture.

“The lesson I took from it was: you’v𓆉e got to own it from the cockpit in those changing ༺conditions.”

Piastr🌌i answered Coulthard: “I got told that Max Verstappen was faster. Ultimately ൲the team know how much faster, and I don’t.

“Iಞt took every bit of concentration that I had to get into the lead. ꧟I knew that, if I got into the lead, I could have pitted on that lap first.

“The tea෴m are also considering that. They have to work out which car comes in first.

“The track got so mu🌊ch worse in that 30 seco💟nds. From the cockpit, it’s hard.

“In that position, you always think your balls are a little bigger than they really are, and you can stay out o𝔉n track!

“For me, and the rest of the team, some learnings to not rep🐎eat that one in the future.”
