There’s no doubt McLaren had its most positive season since 2012, winning one Grand Prix on merit, scoring the first pole position in nine years and being, regularly, the most competitive team behind Red Bull and Mercedes, but a drop in form on the last part of the season saw Ferrari get the better of the British team and secure third place in the Constructors’ Championship. We made a big step forward again with the car, in terms of getting closer with the lap times in qualifying and the race to Mercedes and Red Bull. In terms of reliability, we had a very good season, again.”. We have a great team environment, we have all the talents in place that we need to make the next steps.
