Sainz calls for McLaren focus ahead of Canada
Carlos Sainz has warned against his McLaren team getting complacent as the constructors aim to strengthen their grip on their place as best of the rest in the midfield battle.
Since a difficult start to the season, Sainz has had an upturn in form, highlighted by his sixth-place finish at the Monaco Grand Prix his best of the season. Sainz himself is seventh in the Drivers' Championship, contributing 18 of McLaren's 30 points in their race to top the midfield.
The Spaniard has scored in the last three races and will be hoping he can build up some momentum to establish himself at the front of the pack.
Speaking in his race preview Sainz wanted to maintain their current momentum saying: "After three races in a row scoring points, we’ve got some good momentum and we will try to extend that in Canada.
“Monaco was a strong weekend for me personally, but it is already in the past and we know the car has a margin to improve, so now is the time to push even harder if we want to maintain our position in the championship.
“Getting overconfident would be a huge mistake at this point."
