Follow usAndrea Stella has hailed Lando Norris progress by stating that the British driver has become a real leader in pushing McLaren to improve their performance.
Stella gave an insight as to how McLaren’s two drivers are working together to help the team.
“Lando is definitely evolving towards more of a leading position,” said Stella. “Not a leading position as the leading driver, but just drivers that kind of try to pull the team, just not only being on the receiving end of it.”
“And the second point is that by having a driver as quick as Oscar, definitely you are in the condition to exploit the potential of the car better, because in some corners, even in FP1 Oscar is immediately competitive, if not a little quicker.”
McLaren have enjoyed a real uphill in performance just before the summer break with the team securing a back-to-back podium finishes. The Woking based team will be looking to keep up that momentum into the second half of the season.
