McLaren : There’s a lot to play for over the next two races and we’ll keep pushing

Styrian & Austrian Grands Prix
Round      8 and 9
Where      Red Bull Ring
When     25 – 27 June, 2 – 4 July
Start time     15:00 local, 14:00 BST, 09:00 EDT

Almost a year on from that magical maiden podium for Lando in Spielberg, we return to Austria looking to double our fun. Last year we were treated to two races at the Red Bull Ring and it’s no different in 2021, with this weekend’s Styrian Grand Prix followed by the Austrian Grand Prix just a week later.

Another fortnight in the foothills of the Styrian Alps is a tantalising prospect and to make sure you’re prepared we’ve put together a race preview packed with all the key information you need.

 It includes the latest thoughts of Lando, Daniel and McLaren F1 Team Principal Andreas Seidl, news of another merch bundle drop and a competition to win tickets to one of the biggest motorsport events of the year.

ANDREAS SEIDL  

“After a well-executed race in France, we come away from the first race of the triple-header with crucial points for the Constructors’ Championship. We now switch our focus to Austria as we prepare to go racing in the Styrian hills for the next two weekends.

“Two races back-to-back at the same track presents an interesting challenge as we could have two very different races due to certain conditions such as the weather. So, it’s important we treat every race as a single event with the same preparation despite it being the same track. As a team we must continue to work hard to maintain good reliability and remain on top of parts management during this intense period.

“The battle with our competitors remains closely-contested, with very little separating us. We need to be ready to maximise any opportunities that present themselves over the coming races.

It’s also important we stay focused and keep working on our performances in every session to increase our chances of qualifying in the best positions possible to then give us a fighting chance to score points. There’s a lot to play for over the next two races and we’ll keep pushing.”
