F1 Monaco GP Poll Lando Noris’s car is important for confidence – McLaren

McLaren Team boss Andrea Stella believes Lando Noris After taking a pole for Monaco Grand Prix of Formula 1, he has taken an important step with his car.

Noris defeated Ferrari on technical street circuit Charles Lakeler To poll a tenth with team-mate Oscar piastry Behind 0.175. This was Britain’s second poll of the 2025 season and since he won the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, Piastry stole her thunder with four wins as Noris struggled to get out of McLeran’s McL39 in the qualifying trim.

Noris openly admitted that he was not more McLaren as he found it difficult to guess how the car would react to their input, which inspired some soul-masters in the papaya squad to ensure that his driver could use full capacity which is the best car in the region.

According to the team’s principal Stella, the Noris pole in Monaco has been an important step in the process they have rewarded the work launched behind the curtain in the Wroking-based factory.

“I think this is an important step in this process, which is not only a process for lands, but also a process for the Oscars,” Italian explained. “With Lando, we had some bits knowledge that we can further remove some adaptation, which we needed to consider, which is working very well today.

“I think it would certainly assure the lando and a group of engineers that the work that has been pulled was allowing the lando to take advantage of his speed and its talent.”

A symptom of Noris’s qualifying conflicts was inability to find those extra tenth part in Q3 when it really matters, which Stela indicated as the best marker. The team’s set-up progress has been real.

“Above all, he placed this speed and stability in Q3, which was in the last few races, where we asked to lose some rhythms, let’s say,” he explained. “So, the merit is perfectly lando, and if anything, then there was no more relevant testing ground than Monte Carlo, in fact to check your speed and your stability, and even the ability to repeat your driving input so that you can put laps together.

“We tried as a group, together with the driver, to use the information that we had earned on some final events, when we are not able to find the last one-tenth of a second. And I think the engineers have done a very good job that the engineers have done to recognize us and the lands have done an unprecedented job.”

But Stella vowed that McLaren had more approximate to her car to make her car more approximate, Piastry also suffered from the same boundaries on the axle in front of the car, even though it was somewhat lower. Piastry’s pole shot became undone with a messy route through Nauwel Chiran of Monaco.

“I have an understanding that there is a lot of to be removed there,” Stella said. “I am eager for further steps that we will be able to do with both lands and Oscars in the future, as I am sure that the Oscar must have said that there are some things during qualifying that she did not work as she wanted, and she was away from rhythm many times. It is very difficult. It is very difficult. It is very, very fastened formula 1 cars and very challenging for drivers and are very challenging.”
