Sainz and Norris react to the new MCL34

McLaren revealed their MCL34 earlier today and both of McLarens new drivers like the look of the new car and 'can't wait to start racing.' McLaren will now head to Barcelona to start winter testing on Monday. 

“I’m really looking forward to the tests and excited to finally go racing in McLaren colours," Sainz said to McLaren. "I know everyone at the factory has been working very hard over the winter to prepare ourselves for this year, and I think the team has done a fantastic job with the livery of the MCL34."

“I’ve been especially focused on my preparations this winter. New training routines, new diet, very specific simulator sessions, and extra time with the engineers to develop and align certain aspects of the car to my preferences. I can’t wait to start racing and keep pushing forward together.”

Lando Norris is also positive about next season. “Next stop, Barcelona! Seriously, I can’t wait to get behind the wheel in testing. I’ve been working hard over the winter preparing for my step up to F1. I’ve spent a lot of time with the team in the factory too, learning as much as I can to get ready for the 2019 season. The MCL34 looks great and now I just want to drive it.”
