The team has been forced to bide its time over the first two days.
McLaren has confirmed that it will be participating in the final three days of this week’s pre-season test in Barcelona. Team principal Andrea Stella announced that the team would conduct a filming day at the start of the test, limited to 200 kilometers. Despite other teams like Mercedes and Haas completing significant laps on Monday, McLaren did not hit the track. Inclement weather on Tuesday kept McLaren off the circuit, but the team plans to start their program despite expected rain on Wednesday. McLaren is utilizing the flexibility of the test schedule to make the most of the limited running time, with the focus on assembling and checking the full car. The driver lineup for the remaining test days, whether Lando Norris or Oscar Piastri, has not been confirmed yet.
