Speaking about the call to go on hards, with the cars around Norris all on softs, McLaren team principal Andrea Stella explained it was all down to timing.
“Under the virtual safety car, we were happy to go on hard tyres because it wouldn't have been a problem in terms of warm up,” he said.
“But then the virtual safety car was converted into a safety car when we were pitting, and everything was [ready] at the pitstop to put hard tyres on. A last-minute change to soft would have been an operational problem.”
I definitely thought they screwed Lando, but he defended like crazy and Lewis went through his tires so quickly it was clearly the right call.Well this would explain why Lando was on Hards for that last stint. I thought they blew it as I was watching it live.

McLaren explains reason behind F1 British GP hard tyre call for Norris

Sargeant has been quietly very good the last two weeks. Hope we can see the Williams keep this form up. Exciting to see them in the middle of the pack and James Vowles is making himself very obviously the heir to Toto.
Also, Piastri is awesome. Didn't realize he didn't get the new front wing this weekend that Lando did, but he was right there with him on pace and got screwed by the safety car. He's going to be really good in F1.
Piastri was barely mentioned on the broadcast because he was just consistently putting in good laps and not letting anyone catch him. Even went after Max for a little bit.
What's wrong with that?French team with French drivers. That’s pretty much it.
I could see it, but that car looks like hot garbage, it’d be a miracle if he scored many points with it.Anyone else think Danny Ric will replace NDV after summer break? That’s my prediction
I could see it, but that car looks like hot garbage, it’d be a miracle if he scored many points with it.
Someone new will be in the AT for Hungary because NDV is out as of now.
Id guess he doesn’t, he’s almost 30 and looked bad, worse than Yuki who also isn’t great. At worst if Danny doesn’t have it you could put in an actual young rookie who may have the potential to get better.![]()

Gonna be honest, NDV never really rubbed me the right way. Curious to see how he bounces back from this
