Christian Horner emphasizes McLaren “Conflict” after “World of Pain”.

Christian Horner pointed out how McLaren suspended Oscar Piatri during the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix of a “world of pain”.

However, the Red Bull team school director also had a few words of praise for the team based in Woking and noticed how “commendable” it was to ride Lando Norris the Australian driver, despite the dangers that were exposed to the team.

While he checked Max Verstappen's victory in Imola, the Briton spoke the pitfalls of McLaren's two-stop strategy, in which Piatri had put down the order and traffic and zero the advantage of fresher rubber.

“Oscar had obviously pressed hard early on, and you could see [tyre]”Horner told the media, including Racingnews365. “And so it was cross -border whether it would be two stops or a station.

“You obviously pulled the trigger on the two stop, but it drops you – because the length of the pit lane here is 27 seconds …

“It brought him into a world full of pain, transportation. And so Max could continue and and the degree [degradation] Was super low.

“Even with Lando in a clean air behind it, we were able to manage one-ganz simply-one and a half seconds of a second in the gap in the nine and a half second.”

Horner: “At some point, self -interest will always outweigh the team interest …”

Even with the virtual and complete safety car interruptions, McLaren's strategy for Piatri left the six-time Grand Prix winner powerless to fight Verstappen-and finally his own teammates.

The Papaya team allowed its drivers to fight, part of his “two number one”. However, Horner emphasized the inherent “conflict”, which faces the team, even though Norris came by with both unspeakers.

“The VSC came out, the pit stop was pretty simple, then Oscar was of course again participating in his strategy, which neutralized things,” said the 51-year-old.

“But at that time he would use his two hard tires and then this last security car: Max Paceed, Lando, but it dropped him behind Oscar, what … They have two drivers who fight for a world championship.

“At some point, self -interest will always outweigh the team interest – that is the conflict. So you did a good job in order not to contact.

“It was commendable that they were allowed to drive, but you could see that it got pretty close.”
