Stella points out sore spot McLaren: 'We are going to work on this'

McLaren has been hugely competitive in the last few races of the current Formula 1 season. Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris seem to have found their feet and are collecting quite a few points for the World Drivers' and Constructors' Championships. Yet team boss Andrea Stella thinks there is always some room for improvement for the papaya-coloured team.

"The next round of upgrades will be a further development of the upgrades we took at previous races. There's still scope to go further, and we will attempt to do it. There are some encouraging indications in development, but, as always, the proof will be in the performance realised trackside," Stella said.

"We want to do some urgent work on low drag, as part of a parallel smaller workstream to see if we can cash in some low-hanging fruits for Monza. This activity will be alongside what is the main development of the car, which will benefit us at the entirety of the tracks," the Italian McLaren team boss told reporters.

In the World Constructors' Championship, McLaren is currently in fifth place. With that, the formation is hovering a bit in no-man's land. The team of Piastri and Norris is 88 points behind the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
