McLaren team principal Andrea Stella revealed the Formula 1 constructors' champions were "impressed even more" than expected by former Red Bull engineer Rob Marshall.
Marshall joined the Woking-based outfit as technical director, engineering & design in January after 17 years with Red Bull, with his arrival coinciding with a number of key hires in the past 18 months that have helped see McLaren step up to a race-winning squad once more, clinching a first constructors' title since 1998 courtesy of the points collected by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
