F1: McLaren to be faster in Sepang

Although the McLaren duo finished on the podium after Ricciardo’s disqualification, the Woking-based challengers had nowhere near the pace to mount a challenge to the Mercedes W05 piloted by Nico Rosberg. McLaren hope their chances of even better results will come after further developing the car. It is expected, well according to Ron Dennis at least, that the MP4-29 will be half a second a lap faster in Sepang trim as compared to Melbourne. He also mentioned that although half a second isn’t enough to challenge for P1, it should be enough to keep pressure on rival teams. Pictures used for illustration purposes only.
