The fire in McLaren’s camper did not affect the team’s fighting efficiency or mood in any way, and Lando Norris won pole, and in Barcelona this is very important. This performance from the McLaren driver pleased many, but Zak Brown was probably the most satisfied of all.
“It was a great round! – said the CEO of McLaren Racing after qualifying. – Before the start of the session I spoke to Lando and Oscar, and Lando was already confident that he could compete for pole.
The team put him on the track at a very good time and in the first sector he managed to benefit from the slipstream. Oscar also drove a good lap, but in the third sector he exaggerated slightly. But it was very satisfying to see Lando go through one sector after another.
It is not very clear what the weather will be like on Sunday, but our car is capable of a good race pace, but tomorrow’s events can develop in any way.”
Zak Brown also provided additional information on the impact of the McLaren camper fire: “The only employee sent to hospital has already been released, so no one was injured. I’m happy to say everyone is fine except our camper was damaged.”
