Former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya has argued that McLaren is so "afraid of making decisions" that it is hampering Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri's drivers' championship fight.
McLaren was the only team not to pit under the early safety car at the Qatar Grand Prix. While the Woking outfit argued at the time that it gave them more flexibility in strategy for the remainder of the race, it ended up being the wrong call. Many have pointed to the fact that pitting both drivers would have put one at a disadvantage, likely Norris, who would have been the second driver in a double-stack pitstop.
