Whitmarsh:

"It was heart-stopping; we're a racing team, we had the same dilemma in China and inevitably there's always desires to slow the cars down but I wasn't comfortable for a few moments," Whitmarsh admitted to the BBC as this week marks the 40th anniversary of team founder Bruce McLaren.

"I think he would be proud with everyone in Woking, how hard they've been pressing to be on pace with Red Bull - I think in the race we were quicker than Red Bull."

After McLaren was able to manage fuel levels, which did raise concerns in the late stages, Whitmarsh shared his opinion over the moment of the day:

"I think what you've got to say is, if you've got a 1-2 in prospect, you can't jeopardise it by colliding on the track - it's not acceptable for drivers to take themselves out. I confess I was a little bit surprised by the extent they were cuddling Sebastian during the race, I don't think I would have been cuddling Sebastian.

"I don't know if they're happy with what happened in their race but I'm happy with what happened in ours."
