McLaren team principal Andrea Stella shared his disappointment following the double DNF for the team in the United States Grand Prix sprint, sending a sly jab at 'an experienced driver', presumed to be Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg, for his involvement in the incident.
Hulkenberg, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris got caught up in a Turn 1 tussle on the opening lap of the sprint race at the Circuit of The Americas. While the stewards determined that no further action was required for the crash, both McLaren drivers were out of the race, leaving championship rival Max Verstappen to go on and take the win.
