McLaren fastest to win final five races

Going into the last five races of the season, McLaren is the only team to have scored points in every event participated in this year, having secured six victories out of the last nine races and, since the start of the European season at Imola scoring more points than any other team. It's boss Martin Whitmarsh is confident they can win all of the remaining five races this season and win at least one, if not both championships.

"We demonstrated in Turkey that we have the strongest package and we are in the hunt for both Championships," Whitmarsh said. "We need to keep the momentum going and do a better job than Renault over the remaining five races and then see what happens."

"We believe we have the pace in the cars and are focused on our objective of winning these five Grands Prix, however we are aware that Renault need to make some errors," he added. "It is going to be an exciting seven weeks."
