2025 McLaren F1 Team

Pity in my opinion that the team doesnt consider another upgrade to help our drivers.

Too late. They're 100% focused on next year's car.

I personally think Red Bull know that their PU will be lacking and so are throwing everything at this season, knowing that they won't be in the fight next year.

McLaren can't afford to take that gamble.

Besides, there's no time now even if they did decide to divert some focus back to this season.

I cant say I agree not to have something in reserve in case of a situation like this. Why risk a potential loss of a title and not help your drivers secure it? Unless they still believe that the car can win again and these 4 races were just a temporary setback.

CFD/tunnel time is at a premium. You don't spend that willy nilly just to have a possible development in reserve. The entire premise is void

The lead times to design, test,, verify and build the parts are too large its' probably at least 4-6 weeks really to get through that process. At a stretch they could have parts ready for Qatarn more than likely the season finale in Abu Dabi.

The only way I see they could do something was if they had some parts that had been designed maybe through the early design proces/test process and they let go. Even then it's probably a stretch.

Can someone please post a bit of the onboard of Lando (or even just a screenshot) at T12 on lap 32? According to some second hand information, he has gone off the track. The problem is Lando had already received track limit infringements on L14, L15, and L19. So this L32 infringement should have resulted in a 5 second time penalty. I can see a significant deviation in the telemetry at T12 on lap 32 which suggest that something happened. This was also the lap that Mclaren pitted Lando.

He did not go off track on lap 32, he locked up the fronts and ran slightly deep but was well within track limits and pitted and end of that lap.
