McLaren’s performance in the first half of the season exceeded expectations. Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris shocked the paddock with their impressive performances, all thanks to their MCL38. As the season resumes this week after the summer break, Andrea Stella has promised a strong return to fight for the Dutch GP.

The 2024’s first half ended with its last race in Belgium where McLaren’s Oscar Piastri secured P2 and now the season resumes this weekend. McLaren’s team principal Andrea Stella expressed that the team is excited to get back to racing with renewed energy. The first race of the second half will begin in Zandvoort. Stella highlighted that the Dutch fans always create an incredible and vibrant atmosphere at the race. Therefore, the Italian and his team are particularly looking forward to experiencing this energy again.

With two weeks of shutdown over, we now return to racing with renewed energy. The Dutch fans always create a great atmosphere, which we can't wait to experience once again.

Andrea Stella explained that Zandvoort is a small, technical track with a lot of challenging corners. This will make it very different from other tracks like Spa or Monza. Spa and Monza are more of a straightforward track rather than sharp corners. Lando Norris and Piastri needs to be careful in Zandvoort which requires careful handling.
