Stella on Mclarens incredible reliability this season:

I think Rob and Peter report to Stella, and so does Mark Temple,but most likely only till the Red Bull guy joins.Emag wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2024 6:50 pmIt’s probably the most convoluted structure (at least externally), so there isn’t a clear hierarchy.
I would imagine Rob Marshall has a lot of say on the base platform/concept, but the decisions are probably made with a lot of knowledge share between departments. So I guess everything is tied up together taking into consideration both the mechanical input (Houldey and co) and aero input (Prodromou and co).
Then everyone reports to Andrea Stella who, I assume, keeps tabs on everything and dictates general goals.
McLaren has this “luxury” where their TP is actually a very revered engineer, so he can also provide technical input, albeit perhaps not to the same level as the appointed TDs.
Since Zak is also actively involved with the team (more than you would expect a normal CEO), this helps Andrea focus on the technical side of the role while Zak alleviates his pressure on other duties.
He led from pole in the fastest car with no real pressure to his position at any point in the race.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 1:36 pmWe can all agree that Lando Norris drove like a champion on a race where the pressure was huge. He made the perfect start and gave no chance to Sainz for anything more than 2nd place.
Hmm, Greece is full of 40 year old male accountants like you and yet the country has some of the worst financial issues in the EU... it's all starting to make senseDarth-Piekus wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 11:39 amYou do know that I am not the only accountant that is 40 years old from Greece who also likes football. All of greece is pretty much like that. In any case does anyone know if there can be personal information leak from somewhere?
No real pressure? I disagree. When you learn that your teammate is taken out and you need to win in order to get the championship definitely adds a lot of pressure. Have you forgotten how many times Lando broke under pressure this year? You can't deny that his driving wasn't brilliant this time as he barely had the fastest car.Seanspeed wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 5:01 pmHe led from pole in the fastest car with no real pressure to his position at any point in the race.
That's about as easy a job as it gets in F1. Not saying he isn't good or it wasn't a decent enough job for what they needed, but calling it the drive of a champion is bizarre.
Thank god these financial issues are in the past but in my opinion it's more than just accounting. Regarding my data I haven't posted any personal information in my profile. You see what happened is that I am also writing on a forum called gazzetta on the F1 section. It's not a forum and more like a comment section on each article. I'm there 3 years commenting about Mclaren and Hamilton and I usually come to blows with a Ferrari fanatic from the Schumacher era who has issues with Hamilton breaking Schumi's records. Today it was the first time he called me by my real name which is strange as I haven't mentioned my name before.mwillems wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 5:27 pmHmm, Greece is full of 40 year old male accountants like you and yet the country has some of the worst financial issues in the EU... it's all starting to make sense![]()
I'm teasing of course. No, your data can't be seen, apart from on your birthday, if you have put it it, it will wish happy birthday to you on the front page, which is something I did not do.
Posting your birth date on a public site seems rather stupid.
He had literally the hopes of the team in his shoulders for the entire race. If he messed up the start, overshot the pit box, lost concentration for a split second the title would have gone to Ferrari. It was a champions drive in my book.Seanspeed wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 5:01 pmHe led from pole in the fastest car with no real pressure to his position at any point in the race.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 1:36 pmWe can all agree that Lando Norris drove like a champion on a race where the pressure was huge.

Maybe this has to be linked with the gazzetta forum, not here. From next year, when Ham will be in Ferrari, maybe the Scuderia fans will be happy that he will pass Schumacher records.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 6:04 pmThank god these financial issues are in the past but in my opinion it's more than just accounting.

I couldn't say it better. Imagine something happened due to pressure. He had 26 years of pressure on his shoulders plus his mind loaded with the thoughts of something that could go wrong. His drive was of a champion this time.Nicktendo86 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 7:26 pmHe had literally the hopes of the team in his shoulders for the entire race.
