Andrea Stella said McLaren faced difficulties preparing its car for the Australian Grand Prix after receiving limited engine-related data from supplier Mercedes. The shortage of technical information made it harder for engineers to accurately predict car performance and optimise the set-up for the circuit. Stella admitted the issue left the British team struggling to fully develop and fine-tune the car across the race weekend in Melbourne.
