Carlos Sainz has warned McLaren after their recent performances but hopes to get another points finish at the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend. McLaren have been the standout team of the midfield so far but Sainz is careful not to get too ahead of himself. 

“After three races in a row scoring points we’ve got some good momentum and we will try to extend that in Canada,” the Spaniard told Motorsport Week.

“Monaco was a strong weekend for me personally, but it is already in the past and we know the car has 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.”

McLaren are 4th in the constructor's championship and will hope that they can try and close the gap to Red Bull by scoring more points at the weekend.
