McLaren had a dismal start to the season when they finished outside points in the first race of the season. But they seem to have found some form at the right time and look very close to Mercedes in Australia. McLaren team principal Andreas Seidl stated the team is working hard to resolve their issues.
“I’m very happy saying that we have a simple plan in place now of what we need to do with the car in terms of making steps in terms of performance. This will take a bit of time. So we need to be patient despite all the ambition. But the most important thing is we have a clear plan that we execute now,” said Seidl.
