Paolo Filisetti casts his eye over the latest McLaren front-wing at the Austrian Grand Prix.
After FP1 and sprint qualifying at the Red Bull Ring, it is evident that McLaren is continuing to enhance the performance of its MCL38. The introduction of the new front-wing at the Austrian Grand Prix, featured on Oscar Piastri’s car during the practice session, has shown how even small upgrades can boost performance. This update includes new endplates with an internal winglet, increasing downforce and enhancing the out-wash effect for better aerodynamics. While not a massive upgrade, this enhancement is expected to improve precision in cornering and handling on medium-to-fast turns. McLaren conducted tests during FP1, using flow viz paint on the front suspension upper wishbone, to confirm the effectiveness of the changes made.
