Oscar Piastri has hinted that the McLaren team could make changes to the “Papaya rules” after the winter review.
While Piastri was challenging eventual champion Lando Norris for the title in 2025, he believed he was unfairly influenced by several incidents during the heat of the race.
In Italy, after Norris had a slow wheel change, he was ordered to move the Briton back to second before being allowed to continue the race. Piastri said on the radio that he considered the slow pit stop “part of the race” but complied with the request anyway.
Popeye Rules first came to public attention in 2024. These are actually instructions not to bump into each other and avoid contact.
However, in Singapore, Piastri was also unhappy as Norris pushed him into the second lap of the first lap, where he attacked for third place and no orders were given to allow his opponent to pass.
A dip in form at the end of the season saw Piastri lose the title in favor of Norris, who dropped to third behind Max Verstappen. The driver had this to say about team orders ahead of the new season:
“This is discussed a lot. Behind the scenes, there is less talk and fewer problems than one might think.”
“But we have our own racing methods and they are constantly evolving. We will do a review, we have already done that. Do we want to do everything the same? Do we want to change the rules a little? “We will fully address this issue before we start racing again.”
“For me, the intentions were always right, and we’ll make some adjustments if we feel the need to make things easier for ourselves.”

Ex-Ducati’s Quartararo burning nails on ultimatum with Yamaha: “I took a seven-hour car trip to meet him. He made me believe.”
Fabio Quartararo He has had a clear message for a long time. If Yamaha doesn’t give him a bike that allows him to compete with the best next MotoGP season, the world champion will be packing his bags in 2027. The Japanese are faced with a rock and a hard situation, as the French are undoubtedly the pillars of the entire project.
Significant investments have been made for some time to attract top talent to the team, and Yamaha plans to undergo a “Europeanization” process to accelerate the development of its motorcycles. One of the basic reinforcements for Quartararo is Max Bartolini He was Dall’Igna’s right-hand man at Ducati.
“I had a great connection with Max from day one. I took a 7 hour car trip just to have a 3 hour meeting with him. He answered everything I wanted and took me from not believing in this project to believing in it.. “He didn’t say he was going back to the start, but he said he needed time because he also knew that the Japanese mentality was slower than the Europeans, especially the Italians,” the Frenchman explained in a MotoGP.com documentary.
“I’ve always worked in European factories, so it’s a nice change to work for a Japanese brand. But so far we’ve always tried to adapt to each other,” the Italian technical director explained.
V4, last hope
Yamaha’s changes for 2026 are engine changes. Until now, it was the only factory with in-line propellers, but now They will have a V4 engine. If this doesn’t work, there will be no argument for the Japanese brand to remain world champions in 2021.
“I think the change to V4 is key for Yamaha. I don’t know if it will be able to deliver performance right away, but There were no other great options for the future and we had to keep pace with the others.What must I do to make him stay? It’s very simple. It’s a winning bike. But we know that it is very complex,” Grassilli concluded.
“The only thing that convinces me is that I ride the bike and think I’m fast and I’m having fun. When I signed this year and next year it was to bring good results to Yamaha, but“Right now I just want to think about myself and my goals.” Quartararo closed
