McLaren boss Zak Brown spoke to Sky Sport’s after an impressive result for the team. He said: “Today was a good day at the office, Oscar and Lando drove great, team was strong, pitstops were good, tyre strategy turned out to be the right one. That was a bit of a nail biter.
“Giving how we started the year, to be on the podium, lead the race, and be there on pure pace, have two cars there it's unfortunate for Oscar, he deserved to be third, what an incredible work all the men and women at McLaren have done."
On after the safety car, he added: “I’m still nervous and the race is over. Lewis Hamilton, the nice thing is you know he's going to fight you hard but fight you fair so at least you feel like you've got a driver around you that's going to be sensible. We knew with the hards if we could get past the first couple of laps with DRS we never felt like we were home free so that was a big moment. And then Oscar was coming a few more laps, maybe in a few more laps he would have been harassing Lewis."
On the competition up and down the paddock, he added: " I think you know Max is getting less further ahead in these last couple of races, I think it shows how heathy the sport is and how great the competition is and you are coming in every weekend and there's someone at the front you weren't expecting and someone at the back you weren't expecting, so if we get hold of Max the racing will be fantastic."
