McLaren Unveils Major Package
- Extensive overhaul: McLaren leads the charge with a comprehensive upgrade package for the MCL38.
- Focus areas: Front wing, suspension, floor, bodywork (including sidepods, engine cover, cooling louvers), rear wing, and beam wing.
- Phased rollout: Lando Norris receives the full upgrade, while Oscar Piastri gets a partial update for reliability assessment. Piastri will receive the full package in Imola.
Other Teams Up the Ante
- Mercedes sharpens its tools: New floor, tweaked front wing, suspension, and cooling options aim to close the gap to Red Bull.
- Aston Martin hones performance: Revised front wing, engine cover, rear wing, and beam wing prioritize downforce, with a driver cooling update as well.
- Alpine focuses on weight reduction: Both cars receive weight-saving tweaks, with Pierre Gasly gaining the update deployed on Esteban Ocon's car earlier.
Further Tweaks Across the Grid
- Red Bull lightens the load: New floor body and diffuser prioritize weight saving.
- Haas bolsters the underbody: Updated floor for potential performance gains.
- Alfa Romeo (Stake): Front and rear wing adjustments for circuit-specific balance.
- Williams: New front wing for potential aerodynamic improvements.
