McLaren celebrates Hungarian GP win while teasing manual‑shift P50 hypercar
McLaren secured a victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix, with Lando Norris taking pole position and the race win after the team introduced its first major aerodynamic upgrade package for the MCL40, including a new floor, front brake duct and rear brake fin winglets. Team director Andrea Stella said the improvements helped the car but Ferrari still held a performance edge, noting that Ferrari's chassis offered superior grip in the corners.
Separately, the company is rumored to be developing an ultra‑exclusive hypercar, codenamed P50, that would revive a manual transmission. The limited run of fewer than 100 units could be unveiled at Monterey Car Week in the United States, targeting driving purists who value a direct gear‑changing experience.
