Seidl calls on McLaren to continue its strong momentum

“The midfield battle will continue to be tight until the end of the season, so it’s crucial that we keep giving our drivers the best chance at scoring points each weekend.

"We want to consolidate our current position and maintain our positive trend. Much of the midfield battle will be decided back at the factory, as well as on the track, and Carlos and Lando have done a fantastic job so far.

"We now look to keep moving forward together as a team. This fight will continue right up to the end of the season.”

McLaren has finished every one of the last five races inside the top six, with two fifth-place finishes for Sainz in Germany and Hungary. 

"The ambition is to keep up the good results and fight for the highest spot possible in both championships," Sainz stated. "There are still many races to come this season and I’m sure we’ll enjoy some good battles in the midfield."
