McLaren's Lewis Hamilton believes his team will be more competitive at the next race of the season in Turkey.

Hamilton ended up in fifth at Monaco last weekend while team-mate Jenson Button retired on the second lap as Red Bull secured a dominant one-two finish.



But Hamilton said: "At a place like Istanbul Park, our car will be back in its element."



And Button added: "We've got some upgrades for this race. We've got a good chance of going well there."

McLaren are now playing catch-up to Red Bull after losing the lead in both championships with disappointing results in the last two races - in Spain and Monaco.



Hamilton was on course for second place in Barcelona but crashed out on the penultimate lap with wheel-rim failure, while an overheating engine put Button out of the Monaco race.
