Notably, he was the only car the two McLaren drivers did not lap during the afternoon.

"It's great to be here again," the McLaren driver said.

This race saw both McLaren drivers finished on the podium for the only time of the season.

Both McLaren drivers spun their cars at different parts of the test, and they were not the only to do so.

McLaren driver admits his 'problems are still there' but when on form no one can touch him.

It is understood that the McLaren driver was not involved in the incident.

This was the first podium finish of the season for a McLaren driver.

The two McLaren drivers immediately started to pull away from the rest of the field.

It was his 12th career victory, and the last of the season for the McLaren driver.
