Andrea Stella used his first press conference as McLaren team principal to explain how he plans to push the team to the front of the grid.
It was announced on Tuesday that Andreas Seidl would be leaving the team after four years. He had a contract until 2025, but had already made it clear earlier in the year that he would be leaving at the end of that deal to join Sauber when it becomes the Audi works team in 2026.
That process has now been accelerated – Seidl has joined Alfa Romeo with immediate effect as chief executive. His first task will be to recruit a new team principal, after Frederic Vasseur was recruited by Ferrari to replace the outgoing Mattia Binotto.
