Mercedes says it will pay more attention than normal to the upgrades McLaren has introduced to its F1 car because of the “unusual” step forward. ⬇️
And having made a significant leap since the start of the season, after McLaren started the year on the backfoot with potentially the slowest car, its opposition are now eager to find answers about how it has achieved it.
“We keep an eye on all the teams as they upgrade,” explained Allison. “We take lots of photos and we try and figure out what changes from race to race. “So, it’s well worth us paying more attention than we normally might to another competitor team's upgrade because in this case, we know that whatever changed has made a meaningful difference to their lap time.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says that McLaren’s example of in-season progress is encouraging in showing what can be achieved in F1, even though he is mindful that the squad has benefitted from extra wind tunnel time thanks to F1’s aero testing restriction rules.
