In Singapore, Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo both finished in the top five, which is McLaren’s best result to date in 2022. Team leader Andreas Seidl praised their work and emphasized that the battle against Alpine F1 for fourth place in the Constructors’ Championship will continue.
Before the weekend in Singapore, the Renault group’s works team was 18 points ahead of McLaren, but now the score has become 129:125 in favor of the “orange”.
“We are very happy, the team did a great job, which was not easy because the race was difficult,” said Seidl. “Both drivers performed well and demonstrated world class skills. We immediately earned 22 points and returned to 4th place in the Constructors’ Championship – for us this is fundamental.
Lando and Daniel solved a very important task during the Grand Prix: it was necessary to determine a reasonable degree of risk. Many rivals made mistakes in braking and it all ended up hitting the barriers. In addition, I had to be patient and take my time with the transition to slicks, so as not to take too much risk.
In addition to the excellent result, it is important to emphasize that the technical innovations installed on Lando’s car have worked as we expected, so we will be installing improved components on both cars in Japan.
I believe a keen rivalry with Alpine will continue until the final round of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Alpine has fast cars and two great drivers. However, it is important for us to concentrate fully on our work now.”
