McLaren targets early F1 2024 upgrades in three key areas
On Wednesday morning, McLaren unveiled its 2024 challenger online and later conducted a filming day at a rainy Silverstone. Last year, the MCL60 was revealed amid tempered expectations following missed launch targets, leading to a mid-season overhaul that propelled McLaren to fourth place. The new MCL38 aims to build upon weaknesses such as aerodynamic efficiency, mechanical grip, and tire interaction. Team boss Andrea Stella noted improvements in all areas, with further upgrades planned for the season. Despite potential delays in development projects, McLaren remains optimistic about the MCL38’s performance and trajectory for 2024. Stella emphasized the importance of carefully planning upgrades within budget constraints to maintain the team’s progression and competitiveness.
