McLaren boss Andrea Stella says that pretty much every part has been changed on its new MCL39 in the team’s pursuit of another Formula 1 title. The car features redesigned front and rear suspension, a wider airbox inlet, and tweaks to the sidepod inlets to align with competitors like Ferrari and Red Bull. Stella revealed that the design overhaul extends beyond what’s visible, with a new monocoque and innovations in every component. Driver Lando Norris gave positive feedback after the initial run, praising the team’s innovation and hard work. The major overhaul aims at improving aerodynamic efficiency, also affecting suspension to serve both mechanical grip and aerodynamic needs. McLaren plans further developments for pre-season testing while carrying forward much of the current design.
