"One point I would highlight from a race team point of view is that he also brought us to some elements of approach,” said Stella, who held the executive director of racing title during Ricciardo’s stint with the team.
“Like, we appreciated it immensely that he stayed calm. He was collaborative, positive, constructive, even during the struggle, even in difficult weekends. “We have seen previously, not necessarily at McLaren, but these situations can become quite difficult. Environmentally, they can just take negative spirals. That never happened. So we are very appreciative, and we acknowledge that element of peculiarity of Daniel, which I would like to recognise.”Stella added that the team learned on the technical side as it tried to resolve Ricciardo’s problems with the car.
“This also meant that from the difficulties, we gained technical knowledge, driving knowledge,” he said. “Because rather than becoming immediately difficult conversations, there were conversations where we could go to the bottom of what we could see in the data, what was his feeling? “So I think that was an extremely positive process, from which everyone learned as to what is the ethos, and what is the even emotional approach if you want, to your job, and to human interactions."
