Stella makes clear if there are team orders at McLaren for the Spanish GP

Summarising the way he saw the Qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix play out, Stella said to Viaplay: "Actually there was quite a lot of performance to extract, set after set. I think in the end in Q3 we went almost one second faster than the first attempt in Q1."

Not an easy feat at all, to extract the full potential of the McLaren car, pasrticularly with the circumstances at play during the Saturday afternoon session.

After congratulating both drivers for locking out the front row, the Italian was also wary of the complexities inherent to the Spanish track. "But here is also one of the tracks with the longest run to corner one," he said.
