, team principal of the eight-time constructors’ championshp-winning squad Wolff reckoned his competitors had gained a second per lap.
The Austrian said: “You can see how McLaren has leapfrogged everybody else with an update - they didn't expect to come in that powerful. , who we've seen as really strong contenders at the beginning of the season, and now they're nowhere.” While Stella did not publicly declare the lap time found by the revisions to the MCL60, he reckoned Wolff had exaggerated the gains. finished fifth after losing out to Norris via the undercut before sustaining floor damage, Stella said: “In fairness, we haven't done a proper numerical estimate.
“We had our own internal estimate based on what we saw in the aerodynamic maps. And then you simulate these and this gives you a number, which I cannot share really, but it wasn't one second. “So, I think, somehow the behaviour of your car and the development of your car kind of helps with tyres at the same time.Lando Norris, McLaren, 2nd position, Oscar Piastri, McLaren, Zak Brown, CEO, McLaren Racing, the McLaren team celebrate after the raceWhile McLaren had played down its hopes for Hungary owing to the lower-speed track nature only to impress, Stella has again moved to check expectations ahead of the Belgian GP this weekend.
