Zak Brown has urged McLaren to capitalise on Red Bull having just one car scoring big points as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez’s slump in form conti𝓡nued at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Pere🧜z’s difficult run of form continued in Sunday’s race at the Circuit🐟 de Barcelona-Catalunya as he finished eighth.

It still meant Red Bull came away from Spain with the most points as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen took the win.

However, due to Perez’s stuttering performances, Verstappen’s lead in the drivers’ championship is greater than Re⛎d Bull’s in the constructors’ championship.

Brown feels there’s an ♈opportunity for McLaren to close in - something that wasn’t🔯 seen as remotely possible after the season-opener in Bahrain.

“We took a small chunk out a Ferrari, Mercedes got a few poi๊nts on us,” Brown told Sky Sp🐻orts.

“Ferrari is definitely within reach but so is Mercedes and Red Bull, if Perez picks up the pace, then t𓆉hౠey’ll be very hard to compete [against].

“So I think we got to kind of take aꦯdvantage of the fact that at the moment, Max is at the front and 🗹Sergio is running in the points. That might give us an ability to claw into that lead a bit.

“The fact that we all tho🌳ught this was over a📖t the first race, I think we all got that wrong.”

It was 12 months ago wh🍷en McLaren turned their fortunes around with a sizeable upgrad๊e in Austria.

Since then, McLaren have consistently been a podium contender - or race win challeng♛er.

With four races co🧔ming up in five weeks, Brown is excited about McLaren’s chances.

“Excited for a lot of races, more races the bett♊er as far as I'm concerned,” he added.

“We just got to keep doing what🐠 we're doing. I think Andrea [Stella] sets great direction ༺for the team.

“We remain very focused. We're [going] one race at a time. Of course, we think beyond that when it comes to things like development. But now we'll turn our attention to Austria, we won't worry 🥀about Silverstone other than what people are doing back at the factory who continue to develop ▨the car.”
