F1 News: Huge McLaren Upgrades Coming - "Every Single Aerodynamic Part"

McLaren team boss Andrea Stella has revealed the team will be bringing in huge upgrades soon.

McLaren team principal, Andrea Stella, has confirmed that huge upgrades are coming for the MCL60. 

The Woking-based squad will be bringing upgrades to the cars over a few races. The team has struggled so far this season, however, has seen improvements in performance over the last few races. 

During the press conference during the Canadian Grand Prix weekend, Stella confirmed that the upgrades will be "decently noticeable" and that "pretty much every single aerodynamic part" will be changed. 

Although he didn't reveal which races the upgrades would be coming to, the team chief said that they would be coming in "relatively soon".

Stella explained to the media:

"Well, relatively soon, at the start of the season, we realised that the car needed a fundamental redesign, so this redesign is actually interesting

.

"I would say pretty much every single aerodynamic part. That's why the upgrades will be spread over the course of a few races.

"It will be decently noticeable. We had to redesign even some parts under the bodywork. That's also why it took some time to be in condition to deliver these upgrades. So I would say pretty much the entire car."

Lando Norris is currently running in eleventh position in the drivers' standings with 12 points with his rookie teammate Oscar Piastri in fourteenth position with 5 points. 

In the constructors' standings, the British team is currently in sixth position with 17 points but has a gap to close to Alpine in fifth with 44 points. 

The next important F1 date is 30th June - 2nd July for the Austrian Grand Prix followed by the British Grand Prix on 7 - 9 July.
