When it was thought that the rival to beat was Renault it turns out that the battle was against a stronger opponent. Thanks to his sixth place at Paul Ricard, Sainz has placed seventh with 26 points. For his part, Norris, who finished ninth in the French track, is twelfth with 14 points. English is showing more strength in the free and in the qualifications than in the races. There is not being able to with a spectacular Sainz, which has gone from less to more. Be that as it may, McLaren is the best in the middle zone, the first of mortals.
