The MCL60 is set to be💜nefit from major developments at the F1 Canadian Grand Prix in June, and the F1 British Grand Prix in July.

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

“Th♛e next sizable package of updates will arrive before the summer break,” team principal Andrea Stella said. 

“We are planning 🅷to spread the updates between the Cana🐼dian Grand Prix and the British Grand Prix.”

The F1 Austrian Grand Prix is sand﷽wiched by Canada and Silverstone, but McLaren will ꧙not 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 weekend,” Stella said.&nb꧋sp;

“And given the amount of updates we 💦w🎃ill bring we are not confident in bringing them 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 endu♈red a disappointing start to 2023.

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

Brief optimism over the neไw floor introduced in Azerbaijan, as Nor🦩ris finished sixth, was extinguished when he finished 17th in Miami a week later.

Norris had expressed hope that the new floor was just the first step to serious development but it seems 🦩like he will be made 𒊎to 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 Mercedes and Ferrari bring high-profile upgrades in a bid to chase down Red ﷺBu✃ll.

But McLaren?

“There will be small development⛎s at Imola,” Stella said. 

“But only minor ones compared to the step we need to take to be consistent🔯ly🗹 in the points, which is our goal.”
