LONDON: McLaren Managing Director Jonathan Neale says Mercedes and Ferrari will be more competitive in upcoming races than they were in Australia.

McLaren itself arrived in Melbourne with a car expected to be well off the pace but new upgrades worked instantly and saw it as the closest challenger to Red Bull during the first race of the season. Neale said that the track did not allow every team to show a true reflection of its competitiveness.

“We’re not for one minute thinking that we’ve seen the best of Ferrari or the best of Mercedes at this stage. We watched each other carefully through winter testing and I’m absolutely sure both of those teams have more to bring.”
