McLaren 'fundamentally redesigned entire car’ with upcoming F1 upgrades

McLaren will introduce their second significant upgrade of 2023 when F1 returns to Europe in two weeks.
The Woking outfit will roll out their next upgrade over the three races before the summer break in A෴ustria, Britain and Hunꦺgary.
The upgrade is so su🅺bstantial that many have labelled it as a B-spec car.
Speaking♔ on Friday in Canada, team principal Stella was asked about the upgrade package and when it will arrive at the track.
“Relatively soon at the start of the season, we realised that the car needed a fu🔥ndamental redesign,” Stella said.
“That’s why the upgrades will be spread over the courseဣ of a few races.
“It will be noticeable. We had to redesign𓆉 even some parts under the bodywork. That’s also why it took some time to be in condition to deliver these 💫upgrades.
“I would say it’s pretty much the entire car.”

Looking at this 🅘weekend in Canada, Stella expects McLaren to struggle if it doesn’t rain.
“In terms of up꧅grades here, we only have a rear wing, which is the version that is most suitable for the level of dr♈ag that you adopt at this track,” he added.
“Most of the upgrades we will see ꧟over the course of the following events. We definitely prefer the characteristics of Barcelona because the car is strong in high-speed corners.
“Here we have no high-speed corn🅷ers and quite a lot of low speed traction. It could be a bit of a struggle. We would certainly welcome some [wet] weather!”
