McLaren sent an unusually strong message, this time to its own drivers. Andrea Stella stressed that a driver who does not help the team's interests will not have a long life in the garage!
Stella did not linger, the team boss does not want to see the debates that complicated McLaren's tactics several times last year:
"With us, there is no first and second, both our drivers will get the same opportunities, we are throwing ourselves into the year with the same principles as last year. We are proud of our performances last year and also of the behavior of our drivers, of their positive cooperation. We have learned a lot from 2024, including the human factor. We were competitive, we will be, we must not make mistakes, which continues to require close cooperation. We have learned all the lessons from last year, everyone will have the opportunity to prove it. However, it is important to emphasize that if someone does not believe in the principles of McLaren, they are not the right person, nor the right racer for the team, we will say goodbye to them." - was a completely harsh message from Stella.
