McLaren's Andrea Stella feels Red Bull's F1 rivals have 'no excuses' in closing the gap to the energy drinks giant this season.
Stella says that other teams simply have to look at the RB19 to understand what they have to do to find more speed.
“So for me, I keep saying it's more for the other teams that they need to take this opportunity to improve. Ultimately it's a sport which, if you are faster, you're going to win races. I don't think there's an easy solution.”Stella suggested that even Red Bull’s cost cap penalty – which gives it even less wind tunnel time and CFD usage relative to rivals than it would have had as the champion team – will not necessarily be a handicap.
“That's my expectation, but I would expect that other teams should take not only inspiration from a morale point of view, but a technical inspiration. “I think Aston seem to have identified the right concepts on the car, and pursued those concepts. And again, it shows that this is possible.
