What has the atmosphere been like within the team during the four week break leading up to the Spanish Grand Prix?
“The atmosphere has been positive and incredibly busy. We’ve had both Fernando and Lewis visit the team, and that is something that is always appreciated. But we are very aware that this is a break in racing at which we need to make the largest incremental improvement in car performance during the course of the season. So we have all been working very hard to make sure that we can realise the technical upgrades that we are seeking to achieve on the car. This process has been going very well and consequentially there is an extremely positive feeling within the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team and we are looking forward to the resumption of the racing season in Spain next week.”
