McLaren’s new floor headlines a host of upgrades for F1 teams ahead of this weekend’s Mexico Grand Prix
McLaren has introduced a heavily revised new floor in Mexico for the final major upgrade of the 2024 Formula 1 season, aiming to boost their position in both drivers’ and constructors’ standings. Several other teams, including McLaren, have also made changes to their bodywork in preparation for the challenges of high-altitude racing in Mexico City. The new floor represents the first significant upgrade since McLaren’s victory in Miami and promises increased aero load in all conditions due to geometric changes. Red Bull has also enhanced its cooling package for the Mexico City race, with modifications to the sidepod/coke bottle intersection and larger rear cooling outlet. Williams has followed suit with a focus on bodywork adjustments for improved cooling efficiency and reduced drag, while Red Bull continues to pursue development upgrades targeting vortices and underbody airflow speed. Aston Martin, Alpine, Haas, Mercedes, and Sauber have not announced any upgrades for this weekend’s event.
