McLaren targets early F1 2024 upgrades in three key areas
On Wednesday morning, McLaren unveiled its 2024 challenger online, followed by a rainy filming day at Silverstone. Last year’s MCL60 was revealed to subdued expectations, with a mid-season overhaul already in progress due to missed launch targets. The MCL38 aims to build upon the MCL60’s improvements in aerodynamics, mechanical grip, and tire interaction. There are planned upgrades for the early part of the season due to unfinished projects at the time of the car’s launch. McLaren’s development progress has been significant, resulting in multiple podium finishes for both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. The team aims to maintain its upward trajectory throughout 2024 by strategically managing upgrades under the budget cap.
