McLaren boss Andrea Stella believes rivals are mistaken in their suspicions about the reasons behind the team’s Formula 1 success this year. Despite scrutiny and accusations of McLaren using special tricks to cool its brakes, the FIA has confirmed the team’s design is legal. Stella views the repeated accusations as a positive sign that rivals are distracted and have not grasped the true strength of the McLaren car. He suggests that focusing on fundamentals rather than getting distracted by competitors’ actions is crucial in Formula 1.
