The Austrian Grand Prix will be a big test of whether Lando Norris can find what he needs with McLaren’s F1 car as it plans no more changes to directly address his issues with the car
The Austrian Grand Prix will be a significant test for Lando Norris to see if he can adapt to McLaren’s Formula 1 car without further changes to address the issues he’s faced this season.
McLaren introduced a new front suspension geometry and aerodynamic adjustments in Canada, aimed at improving the front tyre feel for drivers, although Norris has struggled more with this aspect than his teammate.
The slight modifications made by McLaren allow Norris to feel the tyres better on the limit and provide more feedback through the steering wheel.
While the team considered these changes earlier in the season, potential drawbacks led to delaying the introduction until now, with confidence that it will enhance performance for Norris.
Moving forward, McLaren will focus on optimizing the car’s setup and exploring different options at each circuit to improve performance, rather than introducing significant upgrades.
