McLaren to bring upgrades to Brazil GP with F1 2027 in mind

McLaren will introduce an upgrade package to its MCL40 at the upcoming Brazil Grand Prix, with an eye toward the 2027 season. The updates will feature revisions across the front wing, rear wing, and floor components. Aerodynamics chief technical officer Peter Prodromou confirmed the team expects to carry the new front wing concept into its 2027 launch specification car as they aim to regain competitiveness.

After falling behind in recent rounds, McLaren currently sits 17 points behind third-placed Red Bull in the championship. Despite Lando Norris finishing fifth at the Mexico Grand Prix, the team has struggled for qualifying pace, prompting these late-season developments to aid both current standings and next year's development.
