"I don't have a specific target," he told reporters at the launch of the new orange and black-liveried MCL32 car at McLaren's Woking headquarters on Friday. "It's the first time I actually go into a season without really knowing what is possible in terms of results," the 2015 GP2 series winner said. It took two more races before either of the regular McLaren drivers, Alonso and 2009 world champion Jenson Button, joined him on the scoresheet. McLaren finished sixth overall last year but Honda say their engine has closed the gap and should start the season with performance comparable to Mercedes at the end of 2016. "We know that the last few years have been not easy for McLaren-Honda but it's a period where we are making progress," said Vandoorne.
