McLaren has enjoyed something of a renaissance under Stella's leadership following a difficult start to the 2023 season, scoring just 14 points in the opening five rounds. Heavy revisions to last year's MCL60 chassis, which came to life during the Austrian GP weekend, ensured that the team returned to challenging for poles and podium finishes.
This rate of development continued and, building on that for 2024, McLaren has consolidated its position in the upper half of the field - and has scored 96 points in the same frame of reference, 82 more than last year.
