MP4-23's wet performance could prove deciseful- Whitmarsh

With four GP's left in the 2008 season, and rain a possibility in every single one of them, the McLaren Formula One team is feeling optimistic towards their chances of success, given that their MP4-23 has been highly competitive in such occasions, most notably at the British Grand Prix where Lewis Hamilton dominated.

The performance of the MP4-23 in unusual weather conditions could prove decisive," said McLaren CEO Martin Whitmarsh. "While Singapore is something of an unknown quantity, I think we've all experienced wet races in Japan, China, and Brazil, so we feel well prepared. Allied to Lewis's fearsome abilities in the rain, we have every reason to feel confident that we'll be ready to capitalise on any untoward conditions."
