Interview with Martin Whitmarsh: "We've got to win all remaining Grands Prix"
The British Grand Prix highlighted McLaren's strengths and weaknesses this season: outstanding drivers and the fastest car make them candidates for a 1-2 at any given race. Poor mechanical reliability could cost them the World Championship. McLaren CEO Martin Whitmarsh talks to Adam Cooper about Juan Pablo Montoya's dominant win in the British Grand Prix, Kimi Raikkonen's blitz to the podium in the last couple of races, and the mistakes the team need to avoid for the rest of the season
Q: It was a great day for Juan Pablo Montoya, but would you rather have it the other way round with Kimi Raikkonen in front?
Martin Whitmarsh: "From a simple Championship points point of view, perhaps! But I think for the team it is a good result, because Juan has had a tough time. Kimi is fairly formidable at the moment, and has been for most of this season. I think for Juan to come and get that result, his first McLaren win, was massively important. I think we'll see him in a new competitive spirit in the coming races. We're there to win races, and we want to win races with both drivers.
