Max Verstappen, from the Netherlands, competed in the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai on April 21, 2024, as part of the Formula 1 World Championship. McLaren team boss Andrea Stella believes that Red Bull’s dominance, led by Verstappen, serves as an additional motivation for McLaren to reduce the gap between them. Despite Red Bull’s continued success in the early races of the season, Stella remains optimistic about McLaren’s chances of challenging for victories. Stella expressed his admiration for Red Bull’s achievements and acknowledged the difficulty of consistently winning in Formula 1. He sees their success as a source of inspiration and an opportunity to learn from their approach. McLaren aims to further reduce the gap by introducing a significant upgrade package at the upcoming Miami Grand Prix. Stella anticipates that these upgrades will be noticeable and represent a breakthrough for the team, although not as substantial as the previous upgrades in Austria and Singapore.
