McLaren is paying the price for a season that has been less consistent than expected. The car’s performance varies significantly from one circuit to another, while upgrades have not delivered the expected step forward. The issue is not linked to one single factor, but to the overall balance between aerodynamics, setup and tyre management.

The team is now focusing on a more targeted development programme: improving its understanding of the car, addressing its weak areas and making better use of every race weekend. The goal is to regain consistency and turn technical potential into tangible results.
