McLaren setting development targets, not results, as its F1 2024 goals
McLaren made significant improvements in 2023, thanks to mid-season car upgrades and a technical restructuring by Stella. They surpassed Aston Martin in the constructors’ championship and achieved nine podium finishes. This success has driven optimism for future gains and the ability to challenge Ferrari and Mercedes. McLaren’s focus is on improving processes and development rather than setting concrete goals. The team aims to make consistent progress in aerodynamics, mechanics, and interaction with tires. Plans are considered a tool, not the aim, and adaptation is crucial for delivering performance.
