McLaren solution to eradicate F1 update quirks may take “a few months”
McLaren has acknowledged that the in-season upgrades in 2023 may have introduced some undesirable characteristics to the car, making it less settled on the edge. This was evident in the final races of the year when Lando Norris made high-profile mistakes in qualifying. McLaren has identified some traits within its concept that triggered these issues and has made developments for the new MCL38 to address them. However, Team Principal Andrea Stella believes it will take until after the 2024 season has started for the team to fully resolve these issues. While aerodynamics is a significant factor, ride height and vehicle dynamics also play a critical role. McLaren has focused on finding the right compromises in these areas during the winter break. Some improvements will be implemented on the launch car, while others will come in due course.
