McLaren boss Andrea Stella has admitted the team is still not in a position to win Formula 1 races on pure pace as he revealed upgrades will come in the next rounds.

“The McLaren team has shown significant improvement this season compared to last year, with Lando Norris achieving his first win in Miami and five podium finishes in the first nine races of the year. Despite missing out on a win in Canada due to a strategic error, team principal Stella believes that McLaren’s progress is validated by their consistent podium contention. McLaren is striving to make the car faster to challenge for victories regardless of track conditions or competition, especially with Mercedes now back in contention for the championship. The team is preparing for upgrades in upcoming races but they will be smaller, incremental improvements rather than major overhauls seen in the past. Stella emphasizes that McLaren’s renewed confidence as a top competitor can push them to even greater success in the future.”
