Tech: McLaren's major upgrade package
The long-awaited McLaren developments made their debut in Austria this weekend. CRAIG SCARBOROUGH explains what has changed in what has proved to be a big aerodynamic package
McLaren's long-awaited upgrade package for the Austrian Grand Prix hit the track during Friday practice, with some very obvious aerodynamic modifications.
This package includes a new front wing, front brake ducts, turning vanes and floor.
McLaren has moved away from its usual very large front wing to a more shapely design with smaller cascade winglets. This is likely to aid airflow to the back of the car as much as improving downforce at the front.
