Following the Italian Grand Prix, McLaren finds themselves with more questions than answers. Despite a strong performance at the Dutch Grand Prix, where they dominated, Lando Norris was unable to secure a win from his pole position. Additionally, confusion surrounding team orders persisted as Oscar Piastri finished ahead of Norris, who is in the running for the championship. Team principal Andrea Stella has indicated that team orders may have been considered if Charles Leclerc had not overtaken Norris on the first lap.
