Andrea Stella: Our new products are working!
Team principal of McLaren Andrea Stella is pleased with the results of the sprint qualifying and Lando Norris's first place...
Andrea Stella: "During practice, we realized that the updates we prepared are working – this gives us optimism.
I must say that almost everyone brought new cars to this event. At least 50% of the teams definitely have new cars. In the past, we have already proven that we excel in development, production, and implementation of innovations. It's nice to see that McLaren is leading in this competition.
But the Mercedes drivers on Soft tires, when everything came together, were also close to victory. It's great that the competition in our sport is so fierce. It's exciting! Four teams are battling almost on equal terms – we can expect interesting races here and at the next events. For us, it's important that McLaren is in the game – an exciting rivalry lies ahead."
