Watch: Behind the scenes with McLaren, Sainz and Norris send message to fans

McLaren have their 'Unboxed' series for every Grand Prix weekend on YouTube, but this was an unusual one for the Australian Grand Prix, as you might imagine. The team withdrew from the race on Thursday after one of their engineers tested positively for COVID-19.

Message from the drivers

After the usual antics we've come to expect from these videos, both Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz finish the vlog with a message from their respective homes, thanking the fans for their support while also urging them to stay safe.
