Oscar Piastri mentioned that McLaren’s upgrades for the Miami Grand Prix weekend will be a significant step forward for the team. McLaren has had a strong start to the 2024 Formula 1 season, with Lando Norris scoring two podiums in the first five races. Currently, McLaren is in third place in the constructors’ championship and aims to improve their position with the Miami upgrades. Although Piastri noted that it will be challenging to maximize the upgrades during the sprint weekend, he remains optimistic about the advantages they will bring to McLaren. Piastri also expressed a bit of caution, recalling McLaren’s struggles at the Miami race last season after upgrades in Baku. As technical regulations are in their third season, Piastri emphasized the increasing difficulty in making significant performance gains.
