McLaren will introduce front wing, rear wing and floor upgrades to its MCL40 at this weekend's Brazil Grand Prix, with the concept expected on its 2027 challenger. The team surged to the front in Hungary after a major update but has since slipped back despite new parts in Baku and Austin. Norris won both consecutive races, and Prodromou said the aim is to make up ground and build momentum into next year.
Sao Paulo has been good for the team historically, and they expect these upgrades to help them fight for third in the championship. McLaren trails Red Bull by 17 points but scored 59 points versus 152 last five rounds. Norris finished fifth in Mexico, 12 seconds adrift of Verstappen, who was unconvinced they'll be quicker on all tracks.
