Stella strips Verstappen and Marko of all hope: 'Keep doing what we are doing'

Currently, the papaya-coloured team have dominated this season, taking nine wins from 12 races so far as Oscar Piastri leads the drivers' championship with 234 points, eight points ahead of teammate Lando Norris.

Max Verstappen comes next with 165 points, with his troublesome RB21 not allowing him to fight at the front after winning four titles in a row, despite Helmut Marko stating the championship is still up for grabs.

However, in the constructors' championship, the British team are racing away on 460, 238 points clear of Ferrari in second place, while Red Bull sits down in P4 with 172 points.

The Austria team brought upgrades to the British Grand Prix to try and reignite Verstappen's title challenge, but it resulted in the Dutchman admitting much more is needed. Now, McLaren and Stella are looking to continue with their imperious form.

"The performance we saw in Canada, that as soon as you drop the ball, you don’t win anymore," Stella explained during McLaren's event at Trafalgar Square in London before the British Grand Prix.

The Canadian Grand Prix was the first weekend where McLaren missed out on the podium in 2025, rectifying that with another one-two finish after Norris won the British Grand Prix ahead of Piastri.

"So winning is not given for granted. Winning is something that you have to earn. You have to earn it in terms of preparation, you have to earn it on the ground," continued Stella.
