皮亚斯特里否认故意破坏诺里斯排位赛的说法
意大利大奖赛排位赛末段，皮亚斯特里本应在直道上为队友诺里斯提供尾流优势，但因在一号弯锁死车轮并放弃该圈，引发故意破坏的猜测，皮亚斯特里予以否认。
奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里驳斥了有关他“暗中破坏”兰多·诺里斯的说法
皮亚斯特里承认，在意大利大奖赛排位赛中，他“本可以采取一些不同的做法”。当时一次刹车锁死让他无法为队友提供“尾流牵引”
在上周末意大利大奖赛排位赛紧张的最后时刻，迈凯伦的计划是让奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里在赛道上跑在队友兰多·诺里斯前面，让他在直道上获得“尾流牵引”的好处。但皮亚斯特里在一号弯锁死了一个车轮，碾过了减速弯的沥青缓冲区，并放弃了那一圈。
自然有人认为这是他蓄意破坏队友那一圈的阴险举动，因为皮亚斯特里在第一轮曾借助诺里斯的尾流，做出了一个足以让他在方格旗挥下后暂时位列发车区第三的成绩。诺里斯则认为，在没有尾流的情况下在队伍最前方干净空气中行驶，让他在这条极需尾流牵引的赛道上损失了0.3秒。
这使得诺里斯在发车区排在第八位，而皮亚斯特里因为在之前那节排位赛中阻碍了劳森的红牛而受到处罚，最终从第六位发车。
相信“故意事故”说法的人指出，皮亚斯特里在驶上缓冲区后立刻减速，而当时在圈速的其他路段或许还有机会为诺里斯提供尾流牵引（tow）。
"是的，可能确实有，"皮亚斯特里在西班牙大奖赛前接受包括赛车运动网站（Motorsport.com）在内的媒体采访时说。
"但当你锁死轮胎并错过弯角时，你首先想到的是如何让开道路，而不是去做别的事情。是的，事后来看，也许我可以用稍微不同的方式处理，但我认为在当时那个瞬间，指望我做任何别的选择可能都是相当过分的苛求，在我看来是这样。"
“我们下次能不能做得更好？可以。我认为首先要确保我们不会……嗯，从我们在维修通道的位置来看总是很棘手，但很明显在蒙扎，作为最早驶出维修通道的两辆车，我们根本不可能提升成绩。可以说在开始飞驰圈之前我们就已经注定失败了，不过是的，我们本可以做得更好一些。"
迈凯伦允许其车手在蒙扎自由地相互竞争
在Q3最后一轮的飞驰圈中，两辆迈凯伦处于在赛道上排第一和第二的不利位置，这是他们使用位于维修通道另一端、远离出口的车库所致。这使得判断驶出车库的最佳时机变得相当困难，正如领队安德烈亚·斯特拉当时所解释的那样。
"这在任何时候都不应该成为借口，" 他说，"当你位于第一个车库时，就需要稍微注意不要过晚驶出车库，因为如果你是最后一个出来的，就有可能来不及开启飞驰圈。
"所以这也是我们发现自己排第一的原因，但也许我们需要重新审视我们所留出的余量，因为鉴于今年跟车拖拽效应如此之大，排第一显然是一个你不想占据的位置。"
在比赛的最后阶段，当两辆迈凯伦紧随排名第三的马克斯·维斯塔潘之后时，诺里斯追上了皮亚斯特里，并尝试在通往第二个减速弯的外线上超车，但两个车轮压到了草地上。当时他通过无线电抱怨皮亚斯特里把他挤出了赛道，但随后他软化了立场。
"如果我们当时决定用不同的方式处理，事情本可能比去年严重得多" 奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里
迈凯伦的立场是，车手之间可以自由竞争，只要不把对方撞出赛道——这与法拉利形成对比，后者的比赛礼仪似乎混乱不清。但迈凯伦去年曾因被认为在争夺世界冠军的竞争中偏袒诺里斯而受到大量批评。
斯特拉说：“当兰多把车轮压上草地的那一刻，他就在无线电里说话了，他说了一句类似‘他把我挤出去了’之类的话。但当我们回顾的时候，我认为我们看到这一事件比当时情绪激动时看起来要良性得多。”
“所以我认为这肯定是我们会在这种比赛的背景下回顾的事情。一旦你们互相争夺，你就可能会损失时间。”
“那么迈凯伦有没有更好的方式来与维斯塔潘一较高下？我们会回顾一下。当时在维修墙上对我们来说并不明显，我们认为更重要的是让他们按照我们‘放手去比赛’的理念去竞争。”
上周末赛道上发生的事情表明，管理高度竞争的车队友友之间的动态关系有多么危险。法拉利的比赛最终以怨恨收场，刘易斯·汉密尔顿指责夏尔·勒克莱尔在第一个弯角把他挤了出去，并指出车队没有适当的“交战规则”。
法拉利车手在蒙扎发生的碰撞促使汉密尔顿抱怨交战规则——或者说缺乏交战规则。
与此同时，梅赛德斯不得不在比赛中途介入，提醒其车手，他们的争斗正导致他们无法拉开与马克斯·维斯塔潘的差距。
"我认为最重要的事情是把事情说清楚，不搞突然袭击，"皮亚斯特里谈到迈凯伦管理车手的方式时说。
"要避免这种突然袭击非常困难，而且它们时不时就会发生。但你能把它减到越少，事情就会越顺利，车手之间的关系也会越好。"
“显然每支车队的比赛方式都略有不同。但我认为对我来说，这一直是我们多年来取得成功的一个关键。”
“我认为去年大概就是最好的例子。如果我们决定以不同的方式处理问题，无论是车手之间还是作为一支车队，去年很多事情本可能变得更加不愉快。”
“所以，是的，我认为对我们来说，最重要的始终就是保持坦率。另外，如果你对某些事情感到沮丧，一定要让大家知道。”

Oscar Piastri shoots down Lando Norris sabotage theory
Piastri admits he "could have done things a bit differently" in Italian GP qualifying where a brake lock-up prevented him from giving his team-mate a 'tow'
In the fraught final moments of qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix last weekend, McLaren's plan was for Oscar Piastri to run ahead of team-mate Lando Norris on-track, giving him the benefit of a 'tow' on the straight. But Piastri locked a wheel into the first corner, ran over the asphalt run-off at the chicane, and aborted his lap.
Naturally there were those who concluded that this was a cynical attempt to spoil his team-mate's lap, since Piastri – with a tow from Norris on his first run – had set a time that would be good enough for provisional third on the grid after the chequered flag. Norris reckoned that running in clear air at the front of his field cost him three tenths of a second on a track where slipstreaming is essential.
That consigned Norris to eighth on the grid, while Piastri ultimately started sixth after picking up a penalty for impeding Liam Lawson's Red Bull earlier in the session.
Believers in the 'deliberate accident' theory pointed to the fact that Piastri checked up straight away after taking to the run-off, when there might still have been an opportunity to 'tow' Norris elsewhere on the lap.
"Yes, there probably was," Piastri told media including Motorsport.com ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix.
"But when you lock up and miss the corner, the first thing you think about is how to get out of the way, not do anything else. Yes, in hindsight, maybe I could have done things a bit differently, but I think in the moment, to expect anything else was probably a pretty big ask, in my opinion.
"Could we do things better next time? Yes. I think the first thing is to make sure we're not... Well, it's always tricky from where we are in the pitlane, but clearly in Monza, being the first two cars out of the pitlane, we were never going to improve. We were kind of doomed before we even started our laps, but yes, we could have done a bit better."
McLaren allowed its drivers to race each other freely at Monza
During that final Q3 run the McLarens were in the disadvantageous position of running first and second on track, a consequence of being in a garage at the opposite end of the pitlane from the exit. That made the job of judging the optimum time to leave the garage quite challenging, as team principal Andrea Stella explained at the time.
"At no point this should be an excuse," he said, "that when you are at the first garage, then you need to be a little bit careful about leaving the garage too late, because if you are the last one, there's a risk that then you're not going to be in time opening the lap.
"So that's also why we found ourselves being first, but probably we have to review the margins that we adopted, because then being first with the slipstream effect that we have this year seems definitely a position that you don't want to be."
During the final phase of the race, when the McLarens were running behind third-placed Max Verstappen, Norris caught Piastri and tried to pass on the outside line towards the second chicane, but put two wheels on the grass. At the time he complained over the radio that Piastri had pushed him off the track, but softened his position later.
"Things could have turned a lot more nasty than they were last year if we decided to handle things differently" Oscar Piastri
McLaren's position is that its drivers are free to race each other so long as they don't take each other off – in contrast to Ferrari, where confusion seems to reign over racing etiquette. But McLaren faced a lot of criticism last year based on the perception that it was favouring Norris in the battle for the world championship.
"The moment in which Lando put the wheels on the grass, he came on the radio, he made a comment like 'he pushed me off' or something," said Stella, "but actually when we reviewed it, I think we saw that the episode is much more benign than what it might have looked in the heat of the moment.
"So I think it's something that certainly we will review in the context of this kind of racing. As soon as you fight with each other, then you may lose time.
"So was there a better way for McLaren to give a fight to Verstappen? We will review. It wasn't obvious to us at the pitwall, and we thought that it was more important to let them race according to our philosophy of going racing."
The on-track events of last weekend demonstrate the perils of managing the dynamic between highly competitive team-mates. Ferrari's race ended in rancour, with Lewis Hamilton accusing Charles Leclerc of pushing him off at the first corner, and pointing out that the team had no proper "rules of engagement".
Clash between Ferrari's drivers at Monza prompted Hamilton to complain about rules of engagement – or lack thereof
Mercedes, meanwhile, had to step in mid-race to point out to its drivers that their squabble was preventing them from pulling away from Max Verstappen.
"I think the biggest thing is making things clear and having no surprises," said Piastri of McLaren's approach to managing its drivers.
"It's very hard to avoid those surprises, and they're going to happen at times. But the more you can minimise it, the easier things will be and the better the relationships will be.
"Obviously every team has a slightly different way of going racing. But I think for me that's been a big key to our success over the years.
"I think last year was probably the perfect example. Things could have turned a lot more nasty than they were last year if we decided to handle things differently, both as drivers and as a team.
"So, yeah, I think for us that's always been the biggest thing, just being open. Also, if you're frustrated with something, make sure that people know."
