Norris: McLaren hiding aero details due to "game of performance"
The team launched its new car at Silverstone with no media presence and only issued disguised pictures, protecting its IP. Lando Norris explained the caution was to keep performance secrets, saying “Because we can!” The team’s approach contrasted Red Bull, who showcased their car after track testing. Team principal Andrea Stella noted McLaren’s switch to a low-profile launch after last year’s media-heavy event. Stella believes rival cars are starting to look more similar due to new regulations but performance details will still vary. McLarens’s new car is expected to be representative of its early reveal, with potential performance convergences in the field.
