McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown has admitted the team "clearly made a huge mistake" with its strategy at the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix, admitting that better results for both Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris were thrown away by the decision not to pit under the early safety car.
Piastri started from pole with his team-mate alongside him on the front row. While Red Bull's Max Verstappen was able to dispatch the Briton by Turn 1, Piastri was safely controlling the race for the first seven laps.
