McLaren has revealed the much-anticipated revised floor design which the team had been withholding will debut at this weekend’s F1 Mexico City Grand Prix.
The McLaren team from Woking made several updates for the upcoming race at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, choosing to forgo the new floor previously planned for deployment. Concerns over potential complications led McLaren to stick with the tried-and-tested floor that has proven effective since Miami. While Ferrari, Mercedes, and Red Bull have faced challenges with their modified floors, McLaren is now ready to introduce its updated floor to maintain its lead in the championship standings. According to the FIA update, the new floor for the MCL38 features significant geometric changes. Lando Norris will be the one benefiting from the new floor, with Oscar Piastri missing out on the update. Pato O’Ward will take Norris’s place in the opening practice session, using the same setup as in Austin, as McLaren aims to secure the championship.
