McLaren is keeping its development push going into the final races of the season, with team principal Andrea Stella confirming more upgrades will arrive at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
McLaren was the only team to bring new components to Interlagos, with a new front wing, floor furniture and a rear wing and beam wing combination. The front wing in particular is set to be on the launch 2027 car, and Stella says the new parts form the foundation for what will be next year’s car.<\/p>\n
“After the upgrades in Hungary, it was encouraging that we were in a position to win. We should have won Madrid, really, but after that, other people took upgrades and we lost this position,” Stella said. “These upgrades, first of all, they will be complemented by some more parts that come in Vegas, and they form the foundation for what will be next year’s car.”<\/p>\n
Lando Norris won the Sao Paulo Grand Prix from pole after the upgrades, his third victory of the season. McLaren sits fourth in the constructors’ championship, 17 points behind Red Bull, with three races remaining.<\/p>\n
