McLaren boss Eric Boullier insists he is the right man to lead the team

Eric Boullier believes he is still the right person to lead McLaren despite the team restructure and growing speculation about his future at the team.

Although McLaren sits fourth in the constructors' championship, it has not made the sort of dent into the advantage enjoyed by the top three -- Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull -- as was predicted ahead of the current season. Despite having an engine which has already won a race in 2018, McLaren has progressed to the final portion of qualifying just once in the opening five races and finished no higher than fifth.
