McLaren has sent an unusually strong message, this time to its own drivers. Andrea Stella has stated that a driver who does not help the team's interests will not have a long life at the team!
Stella did not hold back, the team leader does not want to see any trace of the disputes that made McLaren's tactics difficult on several occasions last year:
"We don't have a first and second place, both of our drivers get the same opportunities, we approach the year with the same principles as last year. We are proud of our performance last year, and the behavior of our drivers, their positive cooperation. We learned a lot from 2024, and this includes the human factor. We were competitive, we will be, we cannot make mistakes, which requires continued close cooperation. We have learned all the lessons from last year, everyone will have the chance to prove themselves. However, it is important to emphasize that if someone does not believe in the principles of McLaren, then they are not the right person, nor the right driver for the team, we will part with them." - was the very harsh message from Stella.
