Lewis Hamilton concedes McLaren just didn't have the pace needed to match the top three cars in Sunday's Bahrain GP.
The Brit, who could be hit with a two-race ban next Wednesday when McLaren face the World Motor Sport Council, at least gave his team something to smile about on Sunday afternoon when he brought his MP4-24 home in fourth place.
But while he was happy with the result, the defending World Champion admits his team is still lacking in pace.
"I'm delighted, considering we started fifth," he told the BBC.
"We had a great start, but it was so hard to keep up with the Red Bull and the Toyotas and Brawn. It was impossible."
And although his P4 was his best result of the season, Hamilton has urged McLaren to continue developing their car if they hope to stand any chance of winning this year's World title.
"We've got to keep pushing but this is good for the team," he added.
