McLaren boss Adrian Stella discussed a notable issue with the dominant MCL39 Formula 1 car that the team is actively addressing. The car, while leading the pack and winning all but one of this year’s six Grands Prix, has a flaw in its one-lap performance. Stella highlighted that the car offers its best performance over continuous laps, rather than in one-off, 100% pushes for a single lap. This issue affects the drivers’ ability to find their braking limits, as they lack consistent feedback on cornering. The lack of feeling on the car’s central shaft creates a ‘numb’ sensation, leading to unpredictability in performance. Stella is actively seeking improvements in qualifying to address these challenges, aiming to enhance the drivers’ ability to achieve peak performance consistently.
