Mclaren says his true 2018 car will debut at the Spanish Grand Prix - ENG

And during the Chinese GP where Fernando Alonso finished in seventh place, scoring for the third consecutive time this season, Mclaren's sports director Eric Boullier has once again ensured that the Woking teameal car for the 2018 season will make his debut in the GP of Spain.



According to Boullier the current car, it is only an evolution of last season's car that used the Honda engine, and the expectation is that with the new car that debuts in the GP of Spain can solve the problem of lack of performance during the classification, especially during the long straight, where the car can not reach good speeds compared to its rivals that use the same engine.



"The definitive 2018 car will arrive in Barcelona, ​​obviously we hope this is the car we hope it is" - he told the website 'Motosport.com'.



"The current car that we have is in line with the plan, not that we missed the goals, but we ended up losing the schedule of the goals, which means that the car we will have in Barcelona should have arrived in Australia. of the car last season, and not with the new car "- explained Boullier.



Moreover Boullier admitted that having to play the first 4 races of the season with such an obvious restriction is very frustrating for the team.



"So far we have been opportunists and we have been able to take advantage of the opportunities we had with the two drivers to get as many points as possible." It is simply frustrating to see that we have a good performance during the race, but we could not get him in qualifying training "- added the Frenchman.



Finally Boullier was asked if he was excited about the numbers presented by the new package, and he was very realistic and neutral.



"Without enough expectations, I have enough time in F1 to know that you only celebrate when you're on the podium or on top of it," he concluded.



In addition to the new car for the Barcelona GP, Mclaren will still have an improvement of the Renault engine for the Canadian Grand Prix where the French point out that the engine should gain about 40 bhp.
