“There was a lot of complaints about our car, and they introduced this TD and changed nothing.”
Lando Norris stated that the technical directive for the Spanish F1 Grand Prix did not affect McLaren’s performance, as they secured their third 1-2 finish of the season. McLaren dominated by winning seven of the first nine races, establishing a substantial lead over competitors. The new technical directive aimed at limiting flexible front wings had little impact on McLaren’s superiority, maintaining their status as the team to beat. Norris emphasized the team’s excellent work in providing a competitive car and acknowledged the ongoing challenges in qualifying and race pace. McLaren’s competitor, Oscar Piastri, acknowledged Red Bull’s strategic threat rather than pure pace and anticipated varying levels of competitiveness at different tracks. Overall, McLaren remains focused on continuous improvement to stay ahead in the championship race.
