McLaren launched their 2023 Formula 1 car, the MCL60 in Woking on Monday, and as usual we have a technical analysis for their new car by Kyle.Engineers.
The MCL60 is a very important car for McLaren as they team are celebrating their 60th anniversary with it and hopes are high that it will be an improvement over last year’s MCL36.
Kyle said: “Looking at the MCL60 presented by McLaren in both renders and the real life it looks like they are still hiding a lot of development and not showing their full hand.
“A huge amount of what’s on display is either hidden or carryover from the end of last year, and the bulk of the changes that we can see are subtle changes around the bodywork,” he added.
Kyle, a former Mercedes aerodynamicist and Phd holder analyzes the car that was revealed at the McLaren Technology Center will be driven in the 2023 F1 season by Lando Norris and rookie Oscar Piastri.
McLaren were beaten to fourth in the 2022 Constructors” Championship by Alpine, as the team dropped back in performance after some initial promise in testing, not to mention that their former driver Daniel Ricciardo was not delivering his share of the points to propel the team forward.
