Andreas Seidl encourages McLaren to regroup after "tough" two races

McLaren team principal Andreas Seidl has urged his team to come again at the Singapore Grand Prix after a disappointing fortnight in Belgium and Italy, with just one point scored.

Lando Norris retired from P5 in Belgium and Carlos Sainz was on for a good finish on Sunday until a loose wheel put him out of contention as Renault scored 22 points to close the gap.

Seidl said in McLaren's press release: "It's a disappointing race for us. Coming away with one very lonely point wasn't the plan for today. On Carlos' side, everything was running okay and he looked well-set to finish in P6, but unfortunately we had an issue with the front right wheel at the pit-stop, which caused us to stop the car.
