Spanish GP race, Stella: “Victory slipped away, but we are equal with Red Bull”
Another excellent race for McLaren and Andrea Stella, who took home second place with Lando Norris and seventh with Oscar Piastri in the Spanish GP. The English driver, who started from pole, finished 2 seconds behind the race leadera result that demonstrates how the papaya team is closer than ever to Red Bull.
Stella talks about the near victory to the microphones of Sky Sports F1without neglecting the excellent results obtained by the team:
“Victory eluded us at the first corner. In Barcelona, it is no surprise to lose from pole position because the road to the first corner is long. I appreciate the fact that Lando stayed away from problems, we wanted to finish the race, aware of the strong pace. The strategy was excellent, which is why I want to praise the guys who prepared it very carefully. We knew that here we shouldn’t pit too early, otherwise we’d run out of tyres. In the end, we couldn’t fight for the win. I think our car and Red Bull’s are very close. It’s a great result for McLaren to talk about being on par with Red Bull, but we want to improve further” – Andrea Stella.
