Norris teases “exciting” major upgrade for McLaren
The British driver believes that the updates McLaren have introduced should help the team make a significant improvement, comparable to their season-changing upgrade package in Austria. These updates have already helped McLaren become more competitive after a difficult start to the season. The team is hopeful that the recent developments will have a similar positive impact in Singapore, and that Oscar Piastri will benefit from them in the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix. While cautious not to make premature claims before seeing the upgrades in action, Norris expressed optimism about the potential of the updates. He explained that they primarily focus on enhancing McLaren’s performance in slow-speed situations, aiming to improve overall loads, cornering speeds, consistency, tire wear, and traction. The upgrades are intended to boost performance without directly affecting his driving style or personal comfort in the car.
