McLaren have been in great form of late, but with Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz qualifying in 16th and seventh for the German Grand Prix respectively, it has left Andreas Seidl with mixed feelings.
Sainz continued his impressive season with a strong qualifying session (P7), something he has lacked at the last two races. Norris meanwhile failed to make it out of Q1 for the first time this season and failed to make Q3 for the first time since Monaco which resulted in him qualifying in 16th place for the German Grand Prix. However, the young Brit was managing a battery pack problem.
With Sainz at and Norris starting in very different places on the grid, Seidl spoke about the mixed feelings of the day.
“Qualifying P7 and P16 obviously leaves us with mixed feelings," Seidl told the McLaren website.
"In all fairness to Lando, we had an issue with the battery pack which compromised his ability to get through to Q2 and his quali result overall.
"With Carlos, we got everything out of the car and he did a great job putting the laps together to secure a good starting position."
Seidl also revealed that the team are still aiming for points for both cars, adding: "We're still aiming to fight for points with both cars tomorrow and we’ve also seen the weather forecast, so we can expect an exciting race for the fans here in Germany.”
