McLaren keep fifth slot in the pitlane

McLaren have again been handed the fifth slot in the pitlane for the Canadian Grand Prix, after being moved away from the final position in Monaco two weeks ago.

The Woking-based team were relegated to the last garage in Bahrain in April after Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone reacted to alleged complaints from rival outfits about McLaren being situated between Williams and Red Bull Racing.

However, for unspecified reasons, in Monaco the team were moved back to the position they held for the first two races. Ecclestone even half-joked at the time that it was 'a mistake'.

Now, however, it appears that McLaren may well remain in the middle of the pitlane order for the rest of the season after keeping their fifth slot for this weekend's race in Canada.
