The new McLaren chief plans to use what he learned during his years with an incredibly successful Ferrari team to inspire success in Woking.
Andrea Stella is the new team principal at McLaren taking over from Andreas Seidl. The latter's departure was announced this week, as he has landed a new role as chief executive at the Sauber group which will become Audi works team from 2026.
Stella has been a key part of McLaren's management team for several years now, but may be unfamiliar to many F1 fans. That is because, by his own admission, he has generally preferred to do his job out of the limelight and leave the public-facing aspects to others.
