The MCL60 is set to benefit from major 𝕴developments at the F1 Canadian Grand Prix in June, and the F1 British Grand🔯 Prix in July.

But, with Emilia-Romagna, Monaco and Spain 🐎tඣhe next three grands prix weekends, it might be a frustrating wait for their drivers.

“The next sizable package of updates will arrive before the summer b𝓡reak,” team principal Andrea Stella said. 

“We are planning to spread the updates𓄧 between the Canadian Grand Prix and the British Grand Prix.”

The F1 Austrian Grand🐬 Prix is sandwiched by Canada and Silverstone, but McLaren will not introduce anything new at the Red Bull Ring.

“We will definitely avoid bringing new updates to Austria, because that will be a sprint shootout and sprint race weekenඣd,” Stella said. 

“And given the amount of updat🍃es we will bring we are not confident in bringing t🌞hem to an event that will be very similar to Baku.

“In Baku we brought the new floor, but in those races we will bring bigger things and the floor will be introduce🔯d in Britain.”

McLaren have endured♊ a disappointing start to 2023.

Norris and Piastri have both scored points in just one of the five grands prix 𓆏so far.

Brief optimism over the new floor introdu🔥ced in Azerbaijan, as Norris finished sixth, was extinguished when he finished 17th in Miami a week later.

Norris had expressed hope that the new floor w♔as just the first step to serious development but it seems like hಞe will be made to wait.

Next weekend’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix will see Mercede𓂃s and Ferrari bring high-profile up✨grades in a bid to chase down Red Bull.

But McLaren?

“There will be small developments at Imola,” Stella sa🍌id. 

“But 𒉰only minor ones compared to the step we need to take to be consistently in the points, which is 🐓our goal.”
