The Papayas stand atop the Constructors’ Championship charts with 593 points. However, the team has lost significant points during specific races as well. Collins has pinpointed such shortfalls to the lack of trust between the Papayas’ drivers and their pit wall.

She has claimed that a good rapport with clear communication must be built to exponentially increase their results. The biggest thing for me seems to be this indecision or lack of trust between driver and pitwall that has caused hesitation in some decisions at some points in the year.

The wet conditions around the track compelled the Papayas’ to lose out on podiums for only the second time in 17 races. Andrea Stella and MCL38 (via IMAGO)Andrea Stella believes that his team is still in the running for both championships this season.

Even though he has prioritized the constructors’ trophy, he hopes that the last two races will be a good run for McLaren. I think for Lando, for Oscar, we will go to the next races and try and win the races. The last two races should be good, for Vegas it might be more of a Ferrari track, we will see but all to play for and the constructors’ remains and has always been our priority.
