Stella’s own team has enjoyed remarkable progress in F1 2023, going from being one of the slowest teams to the second-fastest (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris has finished second on four separate occasions).

The success is likely to continue for๊ McLaren as the Losail circuit in Qatar is predominantly high-speed which suits thei꧅r car characteristics.

While 🍒Stella is “encouraged” by McLaren’s development for next year, the Italian was quick to mention Merc﷽edes.

He said after Suzuka: “Let's not forget that Mercede🏅s, I think they realised what they need to work on. And I suspect they're going to jump back quite strongly. 

“There 🔯are no factual elements at this stage to say this is the pecking order we'll see next year. I think things can evolve.”

Giv♛en McLaren’s unprecedented mid-season jump up the pecking order, Stella conceded they are c💦urrently “slightly ahead” of where they expected.

“At the moment, we are e✱ncouraged by the development we see on next year's ca🐼r,” he added.

“Lookin🤡g at the season, if we really want to check against this best expectation, I think we are slightly ahead of where we would have expected to be even in the most 🔥optimistic prediction.

“But, at the same time, I guess it's the same for everyone because right now some🎀 concepts are starting to be quite clear across the paddock. 

“We don't know whether we are developing faster than other team🔥s.൲ And above all, we don't know whether we are developing faster than Red Bull.
