Norris couldn’t ask for better F1 team principal than Stella
Stella, the former McLaren executive director, has taken over the day-to-day running of the F1 team after Andreas Seidl’s departure. He has received praise for overhauling the McLaren technical structure and implementing aggressive upgrades that have made the MCL60 a formidable competitor against Red Bull. Stella is also known for his effective communication skills and was promoted from within the team, setting an aspirational precedent. McLaren driver, Lando Norris, believes there is no better candidate to lead the team and expresses his gratitude towards Stella for his contributions. Under Stella’s leadership, McLaren has made significant hires, such as David Sanchez from Ferrari and Rob Marshall from Red Bull, and will be utilizing their new on-site wind tunnel for next year’s car. These improvements are crucial in convincing Norris to sign a contract extension, as he believes the team is finally on the right track.
