David Coultha🍸rd asked Oscar Piastri whether he should have overruled McLaren’s pit stop strategy at the F1 British 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 finished third,✨ a place ahead of Piastri, 🔯who also suffered from a strategy which confused Red Bull boss Christian Horner.

Pias🐻tri 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 lot of things rig🍒ht. But the🔯 one call that we needed to get right? We didn’t.

“It’s the hardest decision for an F1 team t🧸o make. Both cars 1-2, separated by half a second, rain coming. You nee▨d to decide if both pit, one stays out, or both pit.

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

“We left it too late. Double stacking woul༒d have be🌊en the better call.”

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

The Australian driver wa🅘s told that, if McLaren chose to 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 out was 🧜a lot more.ಞ”

Piastri added: “Another lap, and I could’ve been leading the race. “Which could have 𒅌changed the decision again, for when Iꦅ pitted.

“The result is painful to swallow.”

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

“I got out of sequence in pit stops. I ended ꧙up doing fou𒐪r or five.

“I had doubt. I liꦍstened to the team because I thought they had a bigger🐻 picture.

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

Piastri answered Coulthard: “I got told tha🅺t Max Verstappen was faster. Ultimately the team know how much f🌸aster, and I don’t.

“It 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 on൲ that lap first.

🦄“The team are also considering that. They have to work out which car comes i🐻n first.

“The track got so much worse ♏in that 30 seconds. From the cockpit, it’s hard.

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

“For me⛄, and the rest of th♐e team, some learnings to not repeat that one in the future.”
