John Todt seemed to be concerned about Ferrari’s recent reliability woes.Seems like McLaren’s bad luck now rests with Ferrari who are not leading any of the championships currently.

“Reliability is one of the ingredients for winning the championship and twice it has been missing,” said John Todt.

“Pole, victory and fastest lap for the second consecutive race weekend - Felipe put in a flawless performance.

“He was really great in a great Ferrari car. In the second part of the race, he drove impeccably to control the situation and bring home a wonderful win.

“But we had Kimi’s retirement because of a problem in the wiring to the alternator.

“So despite three wins and four pole positions, we are back to a following role in both classifications because of the competitiveness of our main rivals.

“Right now this season is very hard to predict. There is still a long way to go and much work to do to reach the objectives we have set ourselves. But we know what is required.”
