RacingNews365’s Technical Analyst Paolo Filisetti puts the Red Bull RB19 and McLaren MCL60 under the microscope to examine the biggest differences and most important upgrades to both machines.
McLaren has made significant progress this season, especially with their new car package introduced at the British Grand Prix. They focused on developing the underside of the car and the design of the Venturi channels, resulting in improved downforce and dynamic behavior. However, compared to Red Bull, the MCL60 still lacks optimal overall load and downforce on fast tracks. Additionally, the Mercedes power unit in the McLaren has specific packaging requirements, whereas Red Bull has had the advantage of developing their Honda power unit in synergy with their car. Overall, McLaren’s recent performances have made them one of Red Bull’s closest challengers, but there are still areas where they can further improve.
