McLaren boss reveals teamwork

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella explained that Norris’🥂s race engineer Will Joseph took it into his own hands to inform Stallard about his driver’s struggles to pass Hamilton.

“You’ve given me the opportunity here to actually tell you a story,” Stella s🎃aid.

“The story is that Lando’s race engineer proactively told Oscar🎃’s race engineer: ‘We struggled to pass Lewis because we attempted twice in Corner 27 and he passed us back in Corner 1, so make sure that Oscar knows that and he gives it a go directly in Corner 1.’

“I was very proud whil꧂e on the pit wall to hear that. I didn’t need to🍨 prompt anything.

“I was just a spectator to an example of the great team spirit and team work that we hav🍸e at McLaren.

“So well done to Will Joseph, 🦄well done to Tom Stallard, well done to the team of people.

“I think for a podium finish [Norris] would have needed not to lose the time with Hamil🍸ton.

“Obvi🍌ously, Hamilton is Lewis ♍Hamilton. He knows very well how to race and for a couple of laps he managed to pass Lando.

“And I think this cost us the time that ultimately means that we could not give it a go at trying to overtake 🀅Leclerc.”
