McLaren's MCL38 has narrowed the gap to Red Bull's RB20 — but just how exactly?
It’s no secret that McLaren is closing the gap on Red Bull Racing in 2024 — and according to Andrea Stella, McLaren’s team principal, that’s because the team has ‘altered’ the personality of the MCL38 challenger.
“ witnessing the improvements we have made in the medium and low speeds,” Stella told assembled media, including PlanetF1.com, after the Spanish Grand Prix.“Now it’s a car that works well in a speed range, which 12 months ago was our weakness,” he added.While Stella does admit that the McLaren is still lacking on high-speed corners, it also sounds as if he’s confident that the team can compensate for any current issues.
Red Bull, Stella admits, still beats out McLaren on those high-speed corners — but there’s room to grow, the same way that the team has grown with its every upgrade package in 2024.
