McLaren boss Andreas Seidl says his team has lost ground in the fight for third in the Formula 1 constructor’s championship, with matters further complicated by the resurgence of Ferrari.

Enjoying some strong results to start the 2020 season, McLaren seemed to have the best all-around package of the three contenders for “best of the midfield” compared to Renault and Racing Point, but have since seen the pecking order get significantly more muddled.

After Sergio Perez’s second in Sunday’s Turkish Grand Prix, all three teams now have multiple podiums, with five points separating P3 Racing Point from P4 McLaren in the standings, and Renault only 13 points further back.

Additionally, Ferrari are now only six points behind Renault after their 3-4 finish at Istanbul Park, which Seidl is taking as a sign the Scuderia has made significant progress.
