Stella commented on Norris`s virtual withdrawal from the title fight. McLaren head Andrea Stella reflected that after the failure at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Lando Norris retains only theoretical chances of winning the personal championship, and also recalled the team`s main task.
I don`t think that this changes anything in light of the fight for the Constructors` Championship. Even though one driver was ordered to support another, it was always secondary to the desire to increase the chances of winning the Constructors` Championship.
If we talk about the drivers` championship, I don`t think Lando was under any particular pressure. Honestly, we enjoyed this adventure. If the wheels lock, as happened today, I don`t think about the driver, but about why the car`s wheels continue to lock in such conditions.
Mathematically we are still in the fight. Now we will try to win the coming races. The last two tracks [Qatar and Abu Dhabi] should be pretty good. Vegas is more like a Ferrari track, we`ll see. But the game goes on - the Constructors` Championship remains and has always been our priority, " Stella noted after the finish.
