Seidl explains 'key to current success' McLaren

McLaren is experiencing an excellent season in Formula 1. Where Lando Norris with his fourth place in the world championship is temporarily above Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas, we see Daniel Ricciardo for the time being back on the tenth position. Andreas Seidl thinks more is possible for his team in the coming years.

The German has held the role of team boss of McLaren since May 2019. Since then, the team has found its way up and is increasingly able to compete with the big teams. Norris has been the surprise of the season with some good results during the opening race. However, Seidl stresses that it is not just the driver who performs well.

"Success in Formula One is not a one-man show, it's a big team effort," he told Motorsport-total.com. "The key to the current success is the spirit within the team. I have a team of very talented and dedicated people. We also have a great leadership team with Piers, James and Andrea. We have a clear vision of how we want to get McLaren back to the top of Formula One."

Seidl is working hard to achieve this goal and in doing so he has the full support of Zak Brown, the boss of McLaren. "With Zak's support and the freedom I've been given, I've been able to use my skills to shape the team so that it can operate successfully," he said.
