Fighting for third place in the design championship is slowly tightening. He is currently still in this position McLaren, but Racing Point in Renault are approaching. British team from Woking he has 106 points at the moment, Racing Point already has 104 and Renault with 99 points is not far away.
So it’s no wonder it is Nemec at the head McLaren after the race GP of Russia draw an interim balance sheet which reads as follows: "Racing Point has the third fastest race car, Renault has made great progress, McLaren needs to improve," so Seidl, which is zero in Sochi added: "For me, it’s certain that Racing Point is in the middle of the field at the top. This was already shown at the winter tests in Barcelona. Renault has improved significantly since the Spa. We are here together, both in qualifying and in the race. But now we have to take the next development step if we want to keep third place. Only the one who will develop effectively now will look forward to this third place in the end."
"We’ve worked very hard over the past few weeks and brought a new race car nose to the track, for example. All the more painful in Russia was the fact that we didn’t score any points, for the first time this season, for the first time since Mexico last year. Our race somehow ended in a second turn, due to the crash of Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris, who couldn’t stop himself from driving over the carbon crumbs. There in the background, I would need some more phase of the safety car to be able to get close to the points cities, but that didn't happen,He added Bavarian.
