“They’re much bigger than McLaren now, much bigger. They will be able to keep improving their car. So you might find a bit where McLaren stall out, where they’re obviously getting a lot out of their package right now.
“We saw in Hungary, they had a bit of an ordinary day out. Season-long, do I see them beating Ferrari? It’s possible. But I think it’ll be really hard to do, given the might of Ferrari.
“They’ve got two great drivers [Sainz and Lando Norris] there. Andreas Seidl’s obviously focussed the team. And I just think they’re getting the most out of their package.
“The question now is: can they do anything with the package to make it even better and give them more potential? Or will they just keep getting the most out of what they’ve got?
“I think it’ll be touch and go, but I still think they’re more likely to be fourth than third.”
