McLaren driver Fernando Alonso has told fans that the team will not make any significant progress for the rest of the season.
The British outfit have suffered a miserable campaign, which has seen them score just 17 points all season.
Fans have constantly been left disappointing as progress has failed to materialise, and Alonso only sees a frustrating end to the campaign.
He said: "It is going to be difficult to see big progress. The limitations we have now are quite clear, and this requires a bit of time over the winter to make most of the progress.
"But we are still using these remaining races for some set-up directions for next year, some aerodynamic improvements which might come to some races, and some more power unit experience.
"We cannot forget that from now we will have the same mileage as the Mercedes team going to Australia for the first race [of 2015].
"Overall this year we are down on laps, we are down on mileage on the whole package, but every lap we do we are learning something, so I'm sure some very useful info for next year will come."
