Gerhard Berger thinks McLaren have the right personnel in place, both drivers and management, to ensure they can return to a “winning mood”.
The 61-year-old Austrian raced for McLaren from 1990-92, alongside Ayrton Senna, in between his two spells at Ferrari and won three races for the Woking-based constructor.
That was back in the days when McLaren were at the very top of Formula 1 and in Berger’s first two years with the team, they won the Constructors’ World Championship.
But since 2013, they have found results much more difficult to achieve, on two occasions finishing ninth in the teams’ standings, although things have taken a significant turn for the better in the past couple of seasons.
