McLaren's Sporting Director Sam Michael agreed that the team's current form was not up to standard - although suggested their problems in the wet in qualifying had already severely compromised their chances ahead of the race in any case.
"It's not the performance we really want to have," he told Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle. "We struggled in qualifying yesterday and didn't really have good starting positions. During the race itself, one thing we were trying to do was keep off the option tyre because we suffered with a lot of graining on it. But I think generally as the car pace, it would be respectable if we had a better starting position.

Sam Michael has said that if it wasnt for the poor qualifying their race pace would have been good enough!
tragedy is turning into farce at McLaren
You can't be serious...where did he say this? I want to witness the sheer stupidity of his words.
