Stella on Red Bull's Verstappen situation
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella said he has “enough to do at McLaren” when asked after the British Grand Prix what he would do if he were in the position of Red Bull boss Laurent Mekies, with Red Bull facing the prospect of losing Max Verstappen. Stella said: "Well, you know what? I have enough to do at McLaren to gain half a second in the shortest amount of time. So I think, as Andrea Stella, there's enough to do at McLaren to think [about] what Laurent should do. Laurent is very capable, very intelligent, very competent."

Stella on McLaren improvements after difficult 2026 start
Andrea Stella says there is a “curse” in Formula 1 of always looking to the future, as McLaren focuses on finding improvements after a difficult start to the new regulations. Stella said: "We were almost last, and we ended up as constructors' champions, with Lando becoming world champion and us winning both world titles. But there's a little bit of a curse in F1, and in sport generally, and it's the fact that you're always looking to the future. Looking ahead, we want to be in a position very soon to repeat these kinds of results and see Lando and Oscar succeed, and then fight again for the world championship."
