McLaren team principal, Andrea Stella, has confirmed that the team’s impressive rate of development from last season has continued during the winter. Despite reservations about the launch car, McLaren has been working on improvements and aims to deliver them by midseason. Stella believes that the development gradient established last year has been maintained, both in the wind tunnel and in CFD development. The team is already working on further developments and expects to see a linear gradient of development. Stella also acknowledges the challenge of measuring progress against the world champions, Red Bull, due to their lack of car development last year. However, he anticipates that Red Bull will be extremely competitive in the upcoming season.
