Competition fears
“Surprise” planned! McLaren announces update
With its victory at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, McLaren has already climbed to the top of the Formula 1 team standings. And yet the racing team continues to work meticulously on the next updates to make the car even faster. They have now announced a "surprise".
McLaren has certainly made a good start to the final phase of the season with two consecutive victories by Oscar Piastri. They have also taken the lead in the constructors' championship after the successful weekend in Baku.
Red Bull, which has been overpowering for so long, can currently only look on and sees its fortunes slipping away, at least here. In the drivers' championship, on the other hand, Lando Norris missed a few opportunities recently, meaning that world champion Max Verstappen still has a good chance of defending his title.
Update before Singapore?
However, McLaren senses a big opportunity and therefore does not want to rest on its laurels of recent weeks. Although the MCL38 is currently the best car in Formula 1, a new update is now set to make the car even faster.
"Yes, we are still working on upgrades for this season. We are currently finalizing them," announced Team Principal Andrea Stella on the sidelines of the race in Baku. The effects may already be felt at the next race in Singapore. "We'll see," says Stella mysteriously.
The team boss went on to explain that they had deliberately taken their time and announced a "surprise": "I don't want to give too much away about what we are doing and when it will happen. But we have a plan to make the car faster." The public will find out when the update appears in the official FIA document. So it will be interesting to see.
