McLaren team boss Andrea Stella believes Lando Norris has made an important step gelling with his car after taking pole for Formula 1's Monaco Grand Prix.
On the technical street circuit Norris beat Ferrari's Charles Leclerc to pole by one tenth, with team-mate Oscar Piastri 0.175s behind. It was the Briton's second pole of the 2025 season and his first since he won the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, with Piastri since stealing his thunder with four wins as Norris struggled to get the most out of McLaren's MCL39 in qualifying trim.
