The CEO of Formula 1, **[Stefano Domenicali](https://www.championat.com/video/277510-v-abu-dabi-sdelali-proekciyu-maklarena-na-vsyo-zdanie/)**, congratulated **Andrea Stella**, the head of McLaren, and **Zak Brown**, the team’s executive director, on Lando Norris’ championship win in the 2025 season. It’s worth noting that McLaren also clinched the Constructors’ Cup ahead of schedule.

«I’ve known Andrea for many years and I truly understand the pressure he has been under. When I saw him, I said, ‘Just enjoy this moment; you’ve earned it, and you should be proud of your accomplishments.’ Life always rewards those who deserve it.

I also want to acknowledge Zak Brown: three years ago, McLaren was in a very challenging position at the start of the season, yet he maintained his focus, understood the team’s needs, and brought in key individuals. Now, McLaren has returned to the levels of several previous seasons and is once again popular with fans. All of this has been made possible thanks to Zak’s vision. I am genuinely grateful to him and congratulate him on this achievement,» Domenicali stated, as reported by the Formula 1 press service.
