Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri suffer reality check at F1 Belgian GP with McLaren needing “urgent work”

After enduring a torrid start to the season, McLaren have enjoyed a stunning recent upswing in form ⛎following a raft of upgr💖ades that have turned around their competitiveness.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris finished second in back-to-back rounds at Silverstone and Budapest and teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri also claimed🍬 a podium in the Spa spri🎐nt race.
However, Piastri retired with race-ending damage picked up in a first-lap tangle with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz in the gran🅰d prix, while Norris salvaged seventh after recovering from a nightmare opening stint.
M🌌cLaren team principal Andrea Stella admitted the weekend highlighted the work the British outfit still needs to do.
“This weekend told us that where we could do work,” he s♐aid.
“The car is improved in some areas. This was con𝓡firmed. But, at the same time, this weekend confirmed the areas that we haven't addressed yet.
“[It] gives us a reality check that the𓆏re's more work to do and, to some extent, confirms that those areas, they need to be addressed quite urgently.
“This urgency, for instance, comes from the fact that a second race after [the summer] shutdown is Monza. You can't go racing in Monza like [we did in Spa⛎].
“ꦆSo, there's urgent work that needs to happen at Mc♚Laren to fix the situation.”

McLaren were without an optimised l🦂ow-drag rear rear wing at Belgium and Stella acknowledged that straight-line speed is an area where the team needs to improve. 𝓡;
“We have to very frankly admit that, while this configuration gave us an advantage iওn the pr🌊evious days, [the GP] was starting to be a significant issue,” he explained.
“Overall, let's say there's some learning we take out of this weekend. I think the opportunity to remark is not like we necessarily wa🐻nted to target this configuration.
“Fixing the efficiency of the car at low drag is on the to-do list. Buꩵt it was lower than some of the priorities that we have wo🌠rked on in the previous months.”
