Formula 1 analyst Lawrence Barretto praises McLaren's performance last season. The team from Woking delivered a strong performance this season and ends in the top three of the final standings for the first time since 2012.
New award for McLaren?
"If there was an award for most improved team, McLaren would win it hands down in 2020, the iconic British outfit continuing their impressive trajectory to beat the better resourced outfits of Racing Point, Renault and Ferrari to finish P3 for the first time since 2012," said Barretto on F1.com.
Barretto believes that the good performance of the team is a credit to consistent drivers Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz. "As was shown once again in Abu Dhabi as they crossed the line fifth and sixth, behind Mercedes and Red Bull," Barretto continues.
Many points compared to previous years
"To put this season into context, their final tally of 202 points is just five shy of their previous two campaigns (2018 and 2019) combined," concludes Barretto.
