Racing returns this weekend as the teams head to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix. McLaren had a mixed weekend at Spa, recording one non-finish for Carlos Sainz and 11th placing for Lando Norris.

McLaren is well placed the constructor's standings in 4th place on 82 points and is looking to cement that place for the rest of the season with the top three teams some way ahead.

“After a difficult weekend in Spa in all senses, I’m looking forward to heading to the next race, which fortunately is only a few days away", Sainz said.

"We know that we have areas to work on and we are focussed on maximising our performance throughout the weekend.

"Spa was a clear example that the midfield battle is going to be tough until the end of the season so we need to keep pushing."
