McLaren team princ♋ipal Andreas Seidl says addressing the low-speed weakness of its 2019 Formula 1 car is a “hig꧋h priority” area for the Woking squad.

Despite strengthening its advantage over Renault in F1’s midfield fight after Carlos Sainz Jr took sixth place at th🌃e British Grand Prix, the Spaniard conceded McLaren is in need of making low-speed perfo🌼rmance gains to remain ahead of its rivals.

While Seidl acknowleged the MCL34's deficienc✤ies in low-speed, he stressed the team is working to improve all aspects of its 2019 challenger.

“We know that this is say one o🔥f our weak points we are having,” Seidl said after the race🐓.

“That’s something we continuously address wit𒆙h the updates we are bringing, we also brought updates here.

“Of course, it’s high priority in addition tꦡo let’s say increased performances overall in all a♏reas.”

Asked if McLaren can address the area without losing performance elsewhere, Seid🥂l replied: ♛“It always comes together and of course the target is to overall find performance.

“I think it’s a natural understanding of the car by each tꩵraining, qualifying, race you are doing, working out let’s say the weak points and giving input intܫo what is the development back home in order to address the weak points.

“And at the same time this goes parallel with the overall performance💝 development, the gap is still huge to the front, it’s not just one specific area we are working on to improve.

“I won’t say it i🌟s something I am concerned about, it is a topic that we have to address in addition to many other topics that we have with the car or inside the team,” he added.

“The impor𓆏tant thing is we keep learning about the current car and it is also important to get clear feedback from both of our drivers.

“We will try to address the issues and we will ke✤ep brining updates for the next races to address the weaknesses we have inside the car and ꦫagain we are continuously making improvements in terms of performance, pace of the car, handling.

“But the competitors around us are doing to same so this is the battle we are in but it is nothing that worries me. It is the nature of the game we are in.”

M෴cLaren currently occupies fourth spot in the constructors’ championship, leading engine suppliers Renault by 21 points heading into the German Grand Prix at the end of the month.
