McLaren to bring few upgrades to Mexico; more planned for Brazil and Las Vegas

McLaren will bring little new to Mexico City, with further upgrades planned for Brazil and Las Vegas, team principal Andrea Stella says.

The team has not reached the podium since Lando Norris finished third in Madrid. Norris had won in Hungary and Zandvoort and was on course for a third straight victory in Madrid before a virtual safety car period cost him the win. In the four rounds since Madrid, McLaren’s best results were fourth for Norris and fifth for Oscar Piastri in Singapore.

McLaren is fourth in the constructors’ standings with 355 points, level with Red Bull and behind Ferrari and Mercedes. Stella said the team introduced new brake ducts in Baku and still had more upgrades in the pipeline. He hopes the work can put McLaren consistently in the podium fight and help it reach the competitiveness needed to challenge for victories.
