McLaren look forward to introduce updates in 2013 Chinese Grand Prix – Formula 1 news
McLaren managing director Jonathan Neale has said that they are working hard to introduce some important updates in their car to resolve the problems in the 2013 Chinese Grand Prix.
The Woking based team faced a lot of difficulties during the first race of the season at Albert Park in Melbourne. Their driver, Jenson Button could only score 2 points with his 9th place finish in the season opener while his teammate, Sergio
Perez failed to score even a single point.
Although, Button took a convincing start in the Malaysian GP, but unfortunately he could not attain competitive result due to the wheel gun issue.
Neale has said that they are confidently targeting to bring more updates in their car to perform well in the third race of the season. Furthermore, he said that their update package include some significant developments which are aimed to improve the pace
of their car and to resolve the issues which they faced in the first two grands prix.
He also said that they have to do a lot of work during the free Friday practice in China in order to evaluate their update package.   
“We managed to improve the car between Australia and Malaysia - we were closer on the pace there - and taking the learning from that weekend we're taking a number of upgrades to China,” Neale told a Vodafone McLaren Mercedes phone-in. “Some are just part
of our routine upgrade package and some are in response to what we're trying to do at the moment. So I think we've got a lot of work to do on Friday as we learn more about car and learn what if any of upgrades that we've taken, works. So it will be very busy
day for Sergio and Jenson.”
Additionally, he said that they are expecting a very strong competition in the next race. Therefore, they have to make the most out of their update package which they intend to introduce in China.
Even though, he avoided making any kind of predictions about their performance in the third round of the season. Nonetheless, he asserted that they will try their best to perform well.
