McLaren not setting targets too high for 2017

McLaren is not setting its targets too high for 2017. That is the news from Eric Boullier, the works Honda-powered team's boss. Some are saying that, after a two year struggle with Honda and political strife, 2017 is finally the season in which the famous British team shines again.

But the Spanish newspaper AS quotes Boullier as saying: "Success would be to win. But I really want to be pragmatic and not set expectations too high. We were ninth in 2015, sixth last year, so I hope to be among the top four this year. We want to win as soon as possible, but I am dealing with reality," he added. (GMM)

    • He probably has to walk anyway, it'll be time to get in the younger talents by the time Mclaren gets its act together.
