McLaren F1 boss Andrea Stella has revealed they’ve been deliberately cautiou𝐆s when deciding when and which upgrades they introduce to their car in 2024.

McLaren have enjoyed a remarkable rate of development since the middle of last year, 🙈progressing from the back of the grid to title contender.

On balance, they’ve been the fastest team in 2024, and on course fo♐r their first F1 constructors’ tiওtle since 1998.

McLaren have been selective with their upgraಌdes, introducing a significant package in Miami.

Since ꧅then, McLaren have been selective in terms o🦩f which new parts are added to the car, bringing another upgrade to Zandvoort.

ﷺSpeaking after the rac♉e at Monza, where were present in the paddock, Stella explained why McLaren have been reluctant to introduce their new floor to the car.

“We haven’t brought a significant upgrade since Miami,” Stella said. “The next relevant upgrade, not as big as Miami, was in Zandvoort, and it didn’t involve the 🔯floor – it was just a detail. It was some other areas of the car.

“But there’s a reason why we haven’t brought some upgrades – because we see that, had we pressed the go button, 💛we might have had some doubts when these par꧑ts were tested full-scale on the real car.

“So 💯we are taking our time to convince ourself that the development is mature to be taken trac🐟kside.”

McLaren were once agꦉain 🦂the fastest team at Monza but failed to take the win as they were out-foxed by Ferrari on strategy.

Stella feels though the pecking order is doing to which driver cཧan “nail th🔥e grip available” rather than one team having a dominant package.

“I think actually the grid order is very much to do with the drivers being able to🔯 nail the grip available, rather than the car being a dominant car,” he added.

“If we loo🍃k at the real lap times, rather than just simply looking at positions P1/P2, then we see that every driver of the fastest four teams was in condition to actually loc🥀k the first position on the grid.”
