Stella praises Norris help in McLaren F1 car development despite “stress” to win
McLaren experienced a decline in performance after finishing fourth in the constructors’ championship in 2021. However, a strong upgrade program in 2023 allowed them to swiftly climb up the order and become Red Bull’s main challenger. Team principal, Andrea Stella, has been praised for McLaren’s turnaround, but he also highlights the role of driver Lando Norris in the team’s progress. Norris has felt the pressure to win races and compete with his peers who have already achieved race victories. Despite the pressure, Norris has remained constructive and supportive to the team. Stella also commends new McLaren driver Oscar Piastri for his calm and controlled approach, which has allowed him to capitalize on his potential and achieve success in previous junior categories.
