McLaren's tough start: Stella confident in team's 'winner's mindset' for rebound
McLaren's 2026 championship defense is off to a nightmare start, with only one points finish and a double DNS in China. Team boss Andrea Stella admits it's a tough moment for drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri but is confident the team's hard-earned 'winner's mindset' will fuel their recovery, with major car upgrades potentially arriving for the Miami GP.
McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella acknowledges his drivers are in a "tough moment" after a disastrous start to their 2026 title defense, but insists the team's resilient culture will guide them through. The reigning constructors' champions have scored points in only one of the first four races, with both cars failing to start in China due to separate electrical issues.
