Formula 1 | McLaren, Seidl: “We have used a lot of resources to address the problems”
"It's been a complicated start since testing in Bahrain," he added
McLaren's season has been rather troubled so far. The Woking team started very badly, also due to the many reliability problems they had in the pre-season tests, a big deficit especially at the beginning of a new regulatory era. However, the work to improve the MCL36 went rather well, and now the British team is fully fighting for fourth place in the constructors' championship with Alpine.
“Clearly this situation didn't help at all – admitted Andreas Seidl, team principal of McLaren CEO Motorsport. We used a lot of resources to solve problems instead of focusing on performance, especially at this time of the season. We managed to make good steps forward in the weakest areas of last year, but at the same time we are less competitive than the last two seasons. The start was difficult, also due to the problems in Bahrain, which certainly did not help us to enter this new era of Formula 1 as best we could. We are not where we would like, but the team has shown that it knows how to react in a great way." .
