Boullier: McLaren needs to 'dig deep'
Eric Boullier believes McLaren has to throw everything it can into the final six races of the season to maximise possible gains over the winter break, starting with this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix.
McLaren leads fellow Mercedes customer Force India by just one point in the constructors' battle for fifth position. Boullier is excited to see if McLaren can continue its recent momentum in the next flyaway races and believes everything the team does now will have a knock-on effect at the end of the season.
"The start of the fly-aways marks the final chapter of the world championship season," Boullier said. "It's a time when the whole team needs to dig deep as we continue our work to improve the car and carry some positive momentum across the winter and into next year. It's an important time for everyone - and it will be interesting to see how our car responds to the return to the high-downforce circuits that proliferate for the remainder of the year."
Jenson Button is confident McLaren is in a good position to retain its form from the last two races.
"We had a positive showing at Spa and Monza, and we're continuing to develop and improve the car. As we move back to higher-downforce circuits, it'll be interesting to see how the pack reshuffles itself - I think we'll still be able to maintain our forward momentum."
