Stella Ready To Back The Better Positioned Driver 

 McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella recently gave his opinions and views on the McLaren driver situation along with their hopes of getting a World Championship. 

“We are fighting Max Verstappen, so I think if we want to give support to one driver, we definitely have to pick the one that is in the best position.

“And also Lando, he's been doing very well, like pole position in Zandvoort, pole position here [in Monza].

“If anything with Lando, we need to adjust some little racing things which may help him, and may help us capitalise on a pole position like we had here in Monza. I think if you look at his first lap, while we review it together, we might see that there were a couple of things that we could have done slightly better,” said Stella.

Stella On Verstappen's Problems 

Stella claimed that Max Verstappen is not only just good on the track but is also good with his talking as well as he is able to tackle questions from the media smartly. 

“Max is good, even with his tongue. He’s not only good on track.

“Obviously he knows that the car he is driving at the moment seems to provide him with some challenges.

“But we need to be better at capitalising the opportunities that Red Bull at the moment seem to offer by not being in the usual possibility of competing for podiums,” said Stella commenting on Max Verstappen's problems with his Red Bull car.
