McLaren set for technical upgrade at Hockenheim

McLAREN will introduce a significant technical upgrade at this weekend’s German Grand Prix at Hockenheim.

Lewis Hamilton won for the team in Canada three races ago but he has struggled since, while British team-mate Jenson Button has scored just seven points in the last six events.

Hamilton is 11-2 third favourite for the race behind home hero Sebastian Vettel at 11-4 and 2010 Hockenheim winner Fernando Alonso – the current leader in the race for the drivers championship – who is a 9-2 chance.
