It was a positive weekend for McLaren with both drivers finishing inside the top ten. Carlos Sainz ended up in 6th, while his teammate, Lando Norris came through in 8th to cap off a brilliant weekend for the team.
The pair qualified inside the top ten yesterday and built on this today to consolidate their position in 4th place in the constructors' standings and beyond the 100 point mark.
“Today we got back to having two cars finishing in the points. It’s a great team achievement, particularly because everyone around us benefitted from the Virtual Safety Car and Safety Car at our expense, "Seidl admitted.
"These 12 points are crucial in our ongoing battle to secure the fourth position in the Constructors’ Championship.
“Both Carlos and Lando did a great job today. They made excellent starts and put up a great fight throughout the race.
"It was also important that we had two solid pit-stops helping to contribute to today’s results."
