Eric Boullier has stated hat McLaren is more determined than ever to improve and get to the front of the grid. McLaren has suffered from poor reliability and speed whilst running with the Honda power unit over the last three seasons.
The Woking based team currently sits last in the constructor standings and do not have any points to their name. Boullier is not willing to give up and states that the team is working extra hard to ensure that they make a speedy recovery.

"In the midst of our current struggles, we aren’t standing still," he said. "Quite the opposite, in fact, and the team’s hunger and determination are stronger than ever to move us forward and into the hunt for more positive results. Rather than focus on the negatives, we need to turn our attention to solutions and work together to get the best out of our situation."
This weekend the cars will take to the streets of Baku. Normally, a street circuit would be good news for McLaren-Honda, however the track in Azerbaijan favours engine power and the team is once again expected to struggle.
"After the frustrations we felt in Montreal, we move to what is another fascinating city in Baku, for the second race in the city’s history at the newly renamed Azerbaijan Grand Prix. In Canada, we were unable to fulfil any potential we showed during the weekend, and we anticipate that in Baku we will face a similar challenge due to the demands this circuit’s characteristics place on the car.
"Although we know this weekend won’t be easy, the backdrop of the stunning old town and medieval walls of Baku offer a dramatic arena for more great racing. The atmosphere during our first visit there last year was incredible and the support we received from the fans was fantastic. In terms of location, it couldn’t be better: the team stays at the Hilton situated downtown – indeed precisely overlooking the start-finish line – and places us on the doorstep of the stunning city centre, where we hope we will be able to make the most of an enjoyable weekend."
