Like most teams, McLaren arrive in Spain this weekend with their most comprehensive update package of 2014 to date. Will it be enough to get Kevin Magnussen back on the podium? Unlikely, admits the Dane, but after positive first impressions in Friday practice, he is confident that it is pushing the team in the right direction…
Q: Kevin, there has been so much hope that it would click with McLaren this year. What has happened in the last two weeks that might support that belief?
Kevin Magnussen:Of course we are not happy, but at the same time we have to keep our spirits up. The whole team is pushing really hard, but it will take time to get where we would like to be. The only thing that gets you there faster is hard work - and that is exactly what we all do. So let’s see how it goes here. I don’t expect that we will change the world this weekend. Of course big steps would be nice, but small steps are realistic.
