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

The success is likely to continue forꦫ McLaren as the Losail circuit in Qatar is pred꧃ominantly high-speed which suits their car characteristics.

While Stella is “encouraged” by McLa𒐪ren’s development for next year, the Italian was quick to mention Mercede🐈s.

He said after Suz💎uka: “Let's not forget that Mercedes, 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 saಌy this is the pecking order we'll see next year. I thin♕k things can evolve.”

Given McLaren’s unprecedented mid-season jump up the pecking ord💫er, Stella c♊onceded they are currently “slightly ahead” of where they expected.

“At the momꦿent, we are encouraged by🤡 the development we see on next year's car,” he added.

“Looking at the season, if we really want to check against ꦐthis 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 cleඣar across the paddock. 

“We don't know whe🐠ther we are developing faster than other teams. And above all, we don't know whether we are developing faster 🐲than Red Bull.
