In the round-up: McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown says Stoffel Vandoorne is doing a good job despite not having beaten his team mate in qualifying or a race so far this year.
What they say
Consistency is the key area Vandooren and McLaren are concentrating on, says Brown:
Stoffel’s doing really well. His race pace is very good. He’s up against a pretty tough team mate. I think he feels very comfortable. We’re trying to get the car a bit more consistent for his liking, and he’s doing well.
