McLaren moved up the Monaco pitlane

McLaren have been moved back up to the middle of the pitlane for this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix.

Having been excluded from last year's Championship the Woking team were expected to spend the season at the bottom of the pitlane but instead they were given the fifth set of garages, slotting them between Williams and Red Bull.

Alleged complaints from rivals, though, saw the team dropped to the very bottom of the pitlane ahead of the Bahrain GP.

McLaren occupied that slot for the next two races before arriving in Monaco for this weekend's race where they were informed that they would be returning to the fifth set of garages.

No reason has been given for McLaren's move up the pitlane nor is it clear if it is just for this weekend's event.
