Well, look, I think if you take the positives out of this weekend, Sergio was in a position for contention with a victory throughout the race.Christian Horner said, as reported by Pitdebrief.com
The 50-year-old seemed very hopeful for the next race because of what they learned in Baku as they’re still in the hunt for the Constructors’ Championship with McLaren. He believed that if they could improve on the positive aspects, they could build on their recent performance.
And I think if we can build on that and extract more performance, there's no reason why we can't be competitive in Singapore.Christian Horner added
