Andrea Stella has hit back at McLaren’s rivals, claiming they’re too “distracted” and not focused on their own performance amid the ongoing flexible F1 rear wing debate.

McLaren stormed to another pole position with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris clinching it ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

Norris put a 0.2s margi๊n ov🥀er his main F1 title rival as he looks to reduce Verstappen’s 59-point lead.

Ahea🌠d of this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix, MꦛcLaren’s rear wing has been heavily scrutinised.

Following 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri’s win in Azerbaijan, videos surfaced on social media of their rear wing flexing on th🧔e back straight in Baku.

McLare🎃n have now been asked to make modifications to it by the FIA.

The Woking outfit have insisted their car is “legal”꧂ and they “offered” to make a change.

ꦜSpeaking after qualifying i🐷n Singapore to Sky Sports, Stella was strong in his response to questions around the rear wing.

The Italianไ says the impact of the tweak is “absolut✤ely zero”.

“Well the effect is absolutely zero,” Stella said. “I think we saw it today. For us it’s just good news that our competitors get distracted with this kind of things because✨ it means they don’t focus on themselves and for us it’s just an advantage.

“We are completely comfortable that this is a little bit of a red herring that so🌌me🌱one is speaking up. The wing is legal.

“There’s no topic really. I think it’s just a story but it looks like everyone looks for some stories. It’s good, it🌼’s good for us.

“We keep focused on ourselves, feet on the ground, keep delive♋ring upgrades and that’s what🍃 we do. We talk on the track.”

McLaren lead the F1 constructors’ championship by 20 points heading into Sunday’s race at 𒉰the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
