That McLaren season 2020 ended on third place, this team boss Andreas Seidl until recently he could not believe it. Because when he joined the team for the 2019 season, nothing pointed to it. McLaren took sixth place in 2018 and the top three were out of their reach. “This was a big difference from my departure in 2009 at BMW, because the difference to the first three teams was huge, especially in terms of budget and resources."
But it's Seidl McLaren brought it to the top again and could look forward to it this year third place design championship. It is for the future optimistic, because Formula 1 managed to accept something measuresthat will allow more fair competition. In 2022 comes a new policy that is supposed to create more equality. It is even more important budget ceiling, which will ensure that top teams will no longer be able to spend without limits. “As a McLaren, I now have an easy opportunity to fight at the top again in the future, if we do everything right,”He rejoices Bavarian, who sees the 2021 season as transitional. The chassis remains in the base unchanged, with the exception of minor changes that can be made by the team.
All McLaren will waive these changes because they will move from Renault na Mercedes engine and will use development tokens for this purpose. “The integration of the Mercedes engine is, of course, an open-heart operation in a race car, but with the experience that the guys at Mercedes in Brixworth and we at McLarn - as we have replaced quite a few engines over the years - I am sure we will do well. ,,” he says Seidl for Sky TV. “Understandably, this is a compromise for next season, because we have to accept that due to the new engine, we cannot make further development on the car. And yet we are happy with the step we have taken," so Nemec, who sees this move as good for the team 's medium - and long - term future.
"Next year we will have the best, most powerful and most reliable engine in the back of our car - the engine of world champions. For us, of course, this is a great reference," so Seidl, who also reckons that both racers will add theirs. Lando Norris will remain in the team for the third year, Carlos Sainz, who is moving to Ferrari, was replaced by Daniel Ricciard. "Daniel is also important as a reference for us as a team, as he has already proved that he can win the race with the right material."It simply came to our notice then infrastructure projects like new wind tunnel. And finally, they took care of the punching conscience with new investors, which is also supposed to help them find their way to the top again.
