Andreas Seidl team manager of McLaren F1 team, believes that Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo did everything they could in the wet Turkey Grand Prix, with Norris taking seventh and Ricciardo thirteenth.

Sunday’s Grand Prix summed up the difficult weekend for McLaren, as the team saw Norris ‘chances of third place in the drivers’ standings deteriorating after third place Valtteri Bottas won the race. The team also saw the gap between them and Scuderia Ferrari In the constructors’ championship, the Scuderia had a strong race under difficult conditions for everyone.

Norris did well to hold onto the points while Ricciardo, who had started last after an engine penalty, struggled to gain any positions as he had to keep the intermediate tires in a good operating window. In the end, things could have been worse for Mclaren, with Seidl emphasizing that the team could not do anything more.

“We leave Istanbul with six more points in our fight for the constructors’ championship after finishing P7 and P13. We achieved everything that was on the table for us today. At the pace that we had the whole weekend and unfortunately the picture did not change today even in the wet, we could not do more with Lando and Daniel. “

Thanks to everyone here on the track, at home at the plant, our drivers and our colleagues from Mercedes HPP. Everyone worked very hard this weekend. On to the next. “
