McLaren admit concerns over pace differences
McLaren Managing Director Jonathan Neale is not hiding the fact that the Woking team worries over its title chances as Formula 1 heads to Belgium this weekend, with sole finisher Jenson Button having taken the chequered flag over a lap down on winner Mark Webber last time out in Hungary.
McLaren were the first team to win two races this year although the silver and red cars are yet to enjoy success since Lewis Hamilton headed a 1-2 result from Button in Canada over two months ago.
“I think we underperformed in Hungary,” Neale told BBC Sport.
“The gap to Ferrari and Red Bull was significant and that has obviously caused us to go back and take stock…but we're working very hard to do something about that.
“We expect an upgrade package for Singapore and, if the title race is as close as it is at the moment, we'll expect to be taking a development package to the last race.”
