The British squad have endured a mi💫serable start to the new season after failing to hit key development targets du🔴ring the off-season, which have resulted in their MCL60 challenger being too draggy. 

McLaren are yet to score a point in the opening two rounds and sit rock bottom of the 168澳洲幸运5🌸官方开奖ℱ结果历史:F1 2023 constructors’ championship. 

Team principal Andrea Ste🍌lla revealed his side will bring a major car upgrade before F1’s summer 🧔break, in addition to the planned Baku update which has already been signed off. 

"So the improvement of car performance should start in Baku," St🐠ella said ahead of this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix. 

"The improvement in Baku should affect an area of the car that I think has been 🍨clear from the presentation of the car, we weren't entirely happy with in terms of development. It's just the first step.

"We would expect definitel𓄧y another major upgrade, which will address more areas of the car. It will be much more apparent, it's what somebody may call kind of a B-spec car. 

"And then we expect to have a further round of upgrade✤sᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ in the second part of the season after the [summer] shutdown.

"So we have three main st♍eps: Baku, later on, I do🔯n't want to commit to any date, but before shutdown, and then after shutdown. 

“We hope that each of them will be able to provide a few tenths of a second,ꦺ so that we put ourselves in a more realistic position to meet our ambition to become a top four car towards the end of the season.”

It ಞcomes after McLaren rejigged their technical leadership structure, with techn🙈ical director James Key leaving the team. 

Key’s role has been split into three separate t🍷echnical director positions, with Peter Prodromou focusiܫng on aerodynamics and Neil Houldley on engineering and design. 

McLaren have also moved to poach David Sanchez from Ferrari as their head of car🌄 concept and performance. The Frenchman will start work at Woking in 2024 once he has completed a period of gardening leave. 

Stella believes the changes to McLaren’s design office will help maximise the planned upgrades for🦹 later in the𝕴 season. 

"The model, which I൩ prefer to call rather than struc🐎ture, the model changes will affect the delivery of performance, because it will accelerate the development rate," he explained.

"And I think that we will see the impact already not in Baku obviously, because what comes in Baku was released in design like two mon💝ths ago. But definitely will impact the next ro🀅und of updates."
