Andrea Stella, McLaren's team principal, is at the helm of a huge transition for the Woking-based team. The Italian has transformed McLaren from a backmarker in early 2023 into a serious contender in 2024. This was epitomised at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, as Lando Norris finished just seven-tenths behind Max Verstappen in his RB20 after Norris gained on the Dutchman considerably lap by lap in the race's closing stages. Stella feels positive going into the iconic Monaco Grand Prix, explaining to GPblog and others why in the Imola paddock.
