NEOM McLaren targeting to ‘really maximise our performances’ in sophomore season
McLaren’s maiden Formula E season had a mix of successes and challenges. They started strong with pole positions and podium finishes from Jake Hughes and René Rast. However, they struggled with energy efficiency during the races and fell behind their competitors. As a result, their ability to score points declined in the second half of the season. Looking ahead, McLaren cannot make changes to the powertrain but will focus on improving their software to maximize their performance. The addition of experienced driver Sam Bird is seen as a benefit to the team, as his knowledge and drive for success can push McLaren forward. The team is confident that Bird and Hughes can help them improve and achieve better results in their second Formula E season.
