McLaren have shown potential to be the best of the rest team this season and Zak Brown has praised the influence of Andreas Seidl describing him as "technical, he is focused and he is dedicated."

McLaren are currently fourth in the Constructors' Championship with 30 points, 13 ahead of Racing Point in second. Carlos Sainz's sixth-place finish at the Monaco Grand Prix marked considerable progress for the team this season and especially for Sainz who has had several disappointing results.

Seidl himself started his role at the Spanish Grand Prix and Zak Brown has been praising the dedication of Seidl as McLaren enter a new era with Renault as their engine provider.

“I think we now have total clarity on the team and the leadership with Andreas," Brown said in an interview with Motorsport.

“I’ve known Andreas for some time, he is a racer and he is technical, he is focused and he is dedicated.

“He is very clear in his direction and, as you know from where we have been, where maybe there have been too many chefs in the kitchen so to speak, now we have got one.

“So everything now I see, I like. We have a great working relationship. I am excited about the future.”
