New parts have made McLaren slower says Sainz

Carlos Sainz is concerned that McLaren's direction of development may be faltering.

Carlos Sainz is concerned that McLaren's direction of development may be faltering.

Recently, the British team debuted a Mercedes-like front nose, and more parts of that 2021 package were added to the orange car at the Nurburgring.

"As there was no practice here for Saturday I used everything that is new and Lando (Norris) used most of everything old. And it cost me. The truth is that it cost me a lot," Sainz told Movistar.

"I don't really know what to say," the Spaniard added. "Normally, when you put new things on the car, you hope to at least go a little faster than your teammate.

"But as we saw with Lando in Russia, the new parts also cost him a bit. So it's something we need to analyse carefully."
