Andrea Stella’s response to Max Verstappen’s title

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella offered an intriguing response to the Red Bull driver winning the title. Alongside a full congratulatory statement, he gave an assessment of where McLaren have educated themselves along the way.

“If we remove the first few races of the season before we deliver the Miami upgrades, then we see that we have a trajectory from a Drivers’ Championship point of view that means that Lando could compete with Max,” he said.

“This is one of the unthinkable achievements that we have to positively acknowledge at McLaren and, when I say unthinkable, unthinkable thinking of where we were only 18 months ago.

“At the same time, while being part of this quest, I think we have learned many things. We have learned as a team. We have learned how to win races. We have also learned that, sometimes, competing to win races, you need to adjust the way you approach racing.”
