McLaren arrived at the Miami Grand Prix with a substantial upgrade package as it looks to make gains towards the front of the grid.
At the Chinese Grand Prix last month, McLaren announced that their MCL38 car would undergo significant development in Miami to enhance its strong performance in recent races. The team made extensive changes in Miami, revamping the aerodynamics from the front wing to the rear wing, including adjustments to the cooling system to improve heat exchange efficiency in high temperatures. The modifications were mostly implemented on Lando Norris’s car, with partial changes on Oscar Piastri’s vehicle due to spare part constraints. McLaren decided to introduce the updates on only one car initially to minimize risks and enable a comparative analysis between the two versions. The development package aims to enhance overall car dynamics, especially in slow-speed corners, and improve tire management, providing a performance boost for the MCL38 on the track.
