McLaren introduces new technical upgrades for Dutch Grand Prix
McLaren is introducing a new technical upgrade package for the MCL40 ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort. Following Lando Norris’s victory in Hungary, the team aims to maintain its momentum by focusing on the rear of the car.
The upgrades include a new rear wing and revised rear brake ducts, which are intended to complete the development package initiated during the previous Grand Prix. Neil Houldey, McLaren’s technical director for applied engineering, noted that while the team is confident, they remain focused on reliability and the high level of competition from rivals like Mercedes and Ferrari.
Lando Norris has expressed optimism about competing for wins in the second half of the season, citing the team's progress and the effectiveness of recent floor updates. The team also faces the challenge of adapting to the specific environmental conditions at Zandvoort, such as wind and temperature fluctuations.
