It's been a difficult start to the year at McLaren, according to the new team principal. F1Testing F1
Understandably, Stella was reluctant to go into detail about the exact shortcomings of the car, and said extensive upgrades to the car will be made over the opening quarter of the season.
“Obviously, when you know that you have good development ongoing, you kind of realise ‘maybe our competitors already have it’. So it’s a reference to yourself, this game is very competitive. If you slow down in terms of the development rate, you can’t assume it happens the same to others. So that’s maybe why I’m not necessarily the most optimistic now but rather more optimistic for what’s coming in the season.
“The reality is that most of these objectives have actually been met. But the objective, in terms of aerodynamic efficiency of the car, that’s the one where we are still shy of what was our target. So some of the objectives have been met but aerodynamic efficiency is still not where we would like it to be, or where we would like it to be a top four contender. So I would say that’s the one in which we are still short.
“We are under definition of the package itself but there are a couple of components where we see that there’s quite a bit of lap time sensitivity, let’s say – I can’t say what,” he said.
