McLaren's Bold Tire Choice Surprises Red Bull
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
In a surprising twist at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, McLarens strategic tire choice for Oscar Piastri earned praise from Red Bulls Laurent Mekies. Piastri, starting third, opted for hard tires, unlike Max Verstappen and Lando Norris who began on mediums. This unconventional move created a unique challenge for Red Bull and added an intriguing layer to the championship decider. Piastris extended first stint on hard tires prevented Verstappen from using a tactic to back up the pack and potentially jeopardize Norriss race. Red Bull decided against pitting Verstappen to try and bunch up the field, focusing on winning the race instead of engaging in tactical maneuvers.
