McLaren he has a car F1 really quick. The work carried out by the technicians of Woking on the MCL38 he stupid all the workers. A very solid and consistent basis for the British car, on which an increasingly competitive future is being built. Indeed, one fact: The team English is what can be defined as a garage owneras unlike a manufacturer he buys the power unit from a high stable. Let’s talk about the power unit Mercedes which is housed in the car papaya color it works wonderfully, unlike on the W15 where it suffers from heat loss.
With the new direction of the team directed by Andrea Stella things have changed. At the beginning of the adventure how team principalthe engineer of Orvieto it was very sincere. He had in fact put his hands forward, the Italian, claiming that the start of the world championship F1 it would have been problematic. They were far behind because they had decided to completely change the concepts. A move that worked and how. In fact, in the middle of summer 2023, an important update package arrives that turns the world upside down MCL60. Suddenly the performance level made a sensational leap, so much so that the papaya-coloured single-seater moved up the rankings.
It does this thanks to the great effort made by technicians and engineers which gives the car F1 a precise identity. In the world championship 2024 McLaren strong part and, a You love mein the sixth race of the current competitive campaign, the first package of update. We’re talking about a super reshaping to the bellies necessary to strengthen the outwash produced by MCL38, as well as significantly increasing aerodynamic efficiency, a worry that the English car had been carrying with it since the previous championship. A rather effective move, capable of tracing the simulator data onto the track.
We can’t forget the changes to the fund. The single keel kick maximizes local pressure. The two channels Venturi they have considerable dimensions, rounded, capable of channeling the air in the best possible way, showing a remarkable quality of the flow structure at different travel speeds. In this case There is a clear development in the diffuser area which uses every cubic centimeter to increase the expansion of the fluid and, consequently, raise the aerodynamic load generated at the rear of the single-seater. Also in this case we are talking about a upgrades factual.
F1, McLaren leaves for Canada with just one goal: to win!
For this reason from You love me there MCL38 it started to fly. The first victory of the season arrives on American soil. A race where Lando Norris has undoubtedly benefited from the fate, as the Safety Car he gave a big hand to the Englishman who suddenly found himself in the lead of the race. However, no one would have bet on the British, as everyone thought that Max he would have easily overtaken him when the race resumed. But no. Not only Landau resisted the attacks of Red Bull RB20 but he even took the luxury of accelerating and crossing the finish line with a gap on the Austrian single-seater.
From that moment we all understood that McLaren he was serious. A car of F1 which at the moment doesn’t have much to envy of Ferrari, for example. In the next race, Imolathe great race pace shown by Norris and the incredible management of the tires once again put the reigning world champion in serious difficulty. MaxIn fact, he was forced to draw heavily on his talent, grooming his own RB20 to the core to maintain first position. A couple more rounds and in all likelihood Verstappen he would have lost again.
Let’s move on Montecarlolast round of the calendar of F1. Competitive scenario where the most important factor in the weekend it’s the qualification. Classifying session where the Australian Platescould potentially win the pole position,. This is keeping in mind that, by checking the ideal lap at the end of Q3, Oscar it was 7 thousandths faster than Leclerc. Missed start from the post which would have opened the doors for another triumph. Last three races, therefore, where the McLaren he could have made a full haul, beating both one Ferrari very on the ball that the benchmark of the highest category Red Bull.
Amazing numbers for the team English than in Canada has every intention of continuing to amaze. Thinking about layout North American, the third sector will be one of the strong points of the McLaren. A car that will make full use of traction and aerodynamic efficiency, together with the ability to attack the curbs of the last chicane without disruption. We are referring to a feature already seen and proven a Imolawhere the single-seater of F1 Englishman showed ease in getting on and off the “kerbs” disarming. For this reason there MCL38 is among the favorites to win.
McLaren has studied the Montreal track to perfection and is strongly convinced that it can beat its rivals. The simulations at driver-in-the-loop they confirm it. She will try to do it by taking advantage of the delicate moment of Red Bull which is a little difficult to hit setup. While compared to Ferrari will try to assert the ability to exploit the support of energy recovery which, as we have seen with our own eyes, adds up to the low drag generated, allows the MCL38 to whiz very fast in the high speed sections and at the same time generate an excellent quantity of load.
