McLaren believe they can pip Aston Martin in the Constructors

McLaren firmly believe they can catch and overtake Aston Martin in the Constructors Championship, something unthinkable in the first couple of races.

The orange car secured a double podium at the Japanese Grand Prix, their best result since the 2021 Italian Grand Prix, which closed the gap to only 49 points to Aston Martin.

The team has been resurgent since the upgrades midway through the season and have been a front-runner ever since. Lando Norris spoke of his enthusiasm about the prospect of pipping Lawrence Stroll team.

Zak Brown says McLaren improvement came earlier than expected

“There’s not many races left. I’m sure there’s going to be a couple where Aston are going to be a bit stronger. But I think our advantage at the minute comparing to almost every team, bar a couple, is we have two drivers who are up there fighting for these positions and fighting for these points.” he said.

“And not every team has that at the minute. So, I think that’s helping us. We can help one another, we can use one another, and I think that’s a good advantage we have over a lot of other teams at the minute. So, we’re on an upward trend.”
