#3 McLaren is the king of midfield
P6 for Norris and P8 for Sainz (coming from the back of the grid) is the result that should bring back some smiles at McLaren. It's not only the results though, but it's also the way that these results have been achieved is what makes it so special. It's becoming clearer now that McLaren has found something of performance advantage from somewhere that is enabling them to pull clear of the midfield.
If the races in France and Austria are proof of anything then they show that Mclaren has got some serious pace in that car. They're the fourth fastest team on the grid with the others currently jostling for positions. It's good news for F1 as well because a strong McLaren is always a great site and by the looks of it, this a strong McLaren.
They've pulled out a lead of 20 points on Renault and if the last two races are any indication, McLaren might just run away with it. The team has been boosted by a breath of fresh air in Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz, both of whom have performed admirably with Lando hardly putting a foot wrong throughout the season.
