McLaren: Fight for P4 won't affect 2020 development plans

McLaren team boss Andreas Seidl feels that the battle to finish fourth in the constructors' standings won't have any implications on the development plan in 2020.

With seven races remaining, McLaren sits 18 points ahead of Renault, who have reduced the gap between the two teams by 25 points in two race weekends.

"We intend to introduce small things all the time, at least for the next two or three races," Seidl said.

McLaren ended up in sixth place in the standings last season and it would show a real sign of progress if they are to hold onto the fourth position in the final seven races of the season.
