It seems McLaren is drawing on one of the most contentious seasons in F1 history to aid its titles quest this year.
Andrea Stella confirmed that McLaren is drawing inspiration from one of the most contentious F1 championship battles to aid its quest for title glory this year. McLaren currently leads the constructors’ championship with a narrow 29-point cushion over McLaren, putting a target on their backs. Lando Norris faces the challenge of catching up to Max Verstappen in the drivers’ standings, with a 47-point difference and 120 points remaining. There is animosity between the two teams and drivers lately, reminiscent of the Mercedes vs. Red Bull battle in 2021. Stella sees the past season as a valuable reference for learning and guiding the team and Norris. Despite the challenges, Stella feels a sense of pride that McLaren is now a contender after being on the outside for so long observing rival teams’ battles in Formula 1 history.
