Stella’s appointment in late 2022 revived McLaren’s fortunes, propelling it from a midfield contender to a front-runner since last summer. McLaren capitalized on its momentum, securing Lando Norris’ first win in Miami and achieving strong performances in Imola and Canada. Despite gaining ground on Ferrari, McLaren remains focused on continuous improvement and avoiding distractions from their recent success. Stella emphasizes the importance of concentrating on the process rather than fixating on outcomes to maintain peak performance. While the team has made significant strides, Stella highlights that McLaren is not yet consistently competitive enough to challenge Red Bull. The team aims to be a constant podium contender by focusing on preparation, maximizing their package, and adapting to various race variables.
