McLaren has revealed the second part of its MCL40 revamp ahead of Formula 1’s Canadian Grand Prix with the aim of challenging Mercedes.
Extensive changes have been made to improve airflow conditioning and increase downforce, including a new front wing design, halo winglet, coke/engine cover updates, floor edges, and rear suspension tweaks.
The updated front wing features a revised profile and narrower footplate area, while a new winglet on the halo aims to enhance airflow around the cockpit and engine cover.
Additional cooling exits and louvre options, revised floor edges, and sculpted rear wing endplates are among the changes implemented by McLaren.
Despite historical challenges at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, McLaren remains optimistic that the upgrades will improve performance, although they approach the weekend cautiously due to the low-grip surface in Montreal.
