McLaren and Carlos Sainz have both done very well this season, and the Spaniard has firmly settled into life at the Woking-based team following his move from Renault at the start of this season, but he still isn't satisfied.
Sainz finished P6 in Russia last time out after a really strong race from a personal perspective, but the Spanish driver has admitted that "he wants more" ahead of this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix.
"After a tricky start to the second half of the season, I'm glad to have scored good points in Russia. I think the whole team deserved it," Sainz said. "Although we managed to extend our lead in the midfield battle, the competition remains tight and I know that I need to keep pushing all the way until the end of the season.
"I want more, and that is the mentality we need to keep (during) the whole year. Now, my sights are set firmly on a strong weekend at Suzuka. The Japanese Grand Prix is another of F1's great historic races and one of my personal favourites.
"The Japanese fans are some of the most passionate and fun in the world and the circuit is well known as a quick and challenging track - the legendary 130R corner is one of the most impressive on the calendar. We are ready and I cannot wait to race again."
