Carlos Sainz's

fifth place

at the Eifel GP left no one satisfied at McLaren.

Not even the Spanish rider himself, frustrated to find himself behind some of his greatest rivals.

"It knows little when you see

Daniel Ricciardo

on the podium

and

Sergio Pérez

ahead

," admitted Sainz, with no option to fight for the step that

Valtteri Bottas

had left free at the Nürburgring.

The aerodynamic updates released by Sainz did not improve the performance of the MCL-35, unable to keep up with the pace of Renault and Racing Point.

"We had more 'graining' than other teams. The car was going nose and cost us more degradation. Now we must analyze what is in this package that does not give us good feelings," revealed the Madrid in the microphones of Movistar F1 .

"There were 60 laps of suffering," acknowledged the next Ferrari driver.

"I never felt in the fight for a podium that I saw ahead of me," he confirmed about his options in the last 10 laps, after the 'safety car' ordered by

Michael Masi

.

The Norris Breakdown

The 10 points, the same as in the first meeting of the year in Austria, did not quite satisfy Sainz, who influenced his idea of ​​having been able to toast with

Lewis Hamilton

and

Max Verstappen

.

"The podium was not possible with this car, but it was possible with the one from two races ago," he said about that trip to Italy, which ended with a podium at Monza and a retirement at Imola.

"We have run little, especially with my car," said Sainz, who had already expressed his concerns after the qualifying session on Saturday.

"There are duties and we have to come back," he concluded about McLaren's situation, now surpassed by Racing Point in the Constructors' World Championship.

That fall to fourth place was accelerated by the abandonment of

Lando Norris

, who had a new power unit, but a sudden victim of an ugly breakdown.

With a stroke of the pen, the young Briton is overtaken in the table by Ricciardo and Pérez, who face the remaining six races with a substantial mechanical advantage.

In two weeks time, at the Portuguese GP,

Andreas Seidl's

team will

have to improve a lot to get back on the path at the beginning of the course.
