McLaren is targeting 'around race six or seven' for a first major upgrade package for its 2024 Formula 1 car, says team principal Andrea Stella.
McLaren came out of the gates much stronger in 2024 than it did 12 months ago, fighting Mercedes in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia for the status of third-fastest team behind Red Bull and Ferrari. However, a Ferrari resurgence has prevented it from scaling its podium-winning heights of the latter half of 2023. It has meanwhile become clear that some of its legacy weaknesses have carried over, like its low-speed behaviour and a relatively poor top speed.
We know the car well, apart from this little difference between the two cars that we will review. 'I think it's very much a matter of upgrades, or adaptation to the track in relation to the track characteristics.' In the meantime, the true pecking order will take a few more races to become apparent, with next month's Japanese Grand Prix considered a solid benchmark due to Suzuka's mix of low- and high-speed corners as well as a long straight.
