McLaren F1 Team lies third in the constructors’ championship in the 2021 FIA Formula 1 World Championship. Daniel Ricciardo finished in seventh position and Lando Norris in ninth position in the qualification session at the 2021 Spanish Grand Prix.
The McLaren team is in a tough fight with the Scuderia Ferrari team and will be disappointed that both the Ferrari drivers qualified in front of them. At the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya circuit, qualifying well is important because of the processional nature of the circuit.
Norris had a sub-optimal qualification because of the incident with Nikita Mazepin in the first qualification session. Ricciardo struggled in the practice sessions but made a step forward in qualification.
Andreas Seidl, McLaren F1 Team Principal, said: “We had a competitive car today, but unfortunately didn’t get everything out of Q3. Lando’s car was damaged after his first run in Q3, which he had to do on used tyres after losing one set of new tyres due to the incident in Q1.
“On Daniel’s side, we didn’t complete the lap before the flag, as cars bunched up at the end of the out-lap and he wasn’t able to get in his second attempt on new tyres. As always, we will analyse, look into the details and learn from it.
“The team here at the track, with support from home and the drivers, did a really good job overnight to understand the upgrades we brought here for this weekend and optimise the car. There was definitely more in it here for us today, but P7 and P9 with a competitive car will allow us to fight for good points tomorrow. Maximum focus now on getting back up the order in the race.”
