Stella: We experienced both joy and pain at the same time.
After the finish of the Dutch Grand Prix, which ended with a victory for Oscar Piastri, McLaren's management experienced mixed emotions, because the team's second car failed to make it to the finish.
Andrea Stella: "I suppose today we saw both sides of motorsport. We felt joy and satisfaction, because it's another McLaren victory, and Oscar achieved a deserved success — this weekend he was very composed and confident.
On the other hand, we are disappointed by Lando Norris's retirement. He was fighting for the win, and today McLaren had every chance of another 1–2, that's for sure. We felt both joy and pain at the same time, but that's racing.
We have not yet determined the cause of the retirement, so it would be wrong to speculate whether it was related to a chassis or engine failure. We are one team, and whose area of responsibility it is makes no difference to us. We will analyze everything, identify the causes, eliminate them and continue to fight."
