There have been significant changes to McLaren’s leadership team over the winter, with Andrea Stella taking over as team principal after Andreas Seidl joined Sauber as their new🐎 CEO.
After losing out on fourth spot in the168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: F1 constructors’ standings to midfield rivals Alpine in 2022, McLaren are aiming to reclaim thꩵe pos♏ition and move closer to the leading three teams - Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes.
But new team principal Stella stressed McLaren remain realistic about 🥃their targets for the upcoming season.

“I think it’s fair to say that over the co🍎urse of the season we would like to establish ourselves as part of the top four,” he said. “We know realistically with the top three teams, this may mean p𒁃otentially being the fourth best car over the course of the season.
“We are realistic in the very short term, there’s good developments already in the pipeline that should land trackside very soon in the season and should allow us to take a decent step forw😼ard.
“We are not naive, we know that pretty much every team will be saying the same, ‘we have good developments’ and so on. Like I s🙈aid, we also have more high level developments going on in the team.
“I would like to remind the importance of getting the new 💦wind tunnel come to frui🦹tion which should happen around the mid-year.
“That should be a step stage for many reasons, not only the fact that it improves your methodologies. There’s also the൩ new simulator coming, we have a new manufacturing facility.
“So large investments that should come to fruition mid-year. T🍬his should be an extra boost in this race to become top four overall in the season and hopefully race for more.”
Aston Martin will follow McLaren in becoming the next team to unveil their F1 2023 car later this evening at the start of a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:busy week of launches.
