- Team principal says improving team are on ‘strong trajectory’
- Stella full of praise for Norris after exceptional drive in Shanghai
The McLaren team principal, Andrea Stella, believes his team may catch Red Bull within a year after they returned an unexpectedly strong result at the Chinese Grand Prix, with Britain’s Lando Norris taking second place.
The race was won by Max Verstappen, with another commanding drive from pole to flag and he almost certainly will not be caught on his way to a fourth consecutive title. He now leads his Red Bull teammate Sergio Pérez by 25 points after five meetings and has already won four of those five grands prix.
