2009 F1 world champion Jenson Button has heaped praise on McLaren for nailing their correlatioജn between wind tunnel and on track performance after their win at the Miami Grand Prix.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris stormed to his maiden win in F1 on Sunday, finishing over seven seconds ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

While Norris inherited the lead due to the Safety Car, he was comfortably the fastest driver out on track, rꦗeeling off fastest laps with ease.

It continues a remarkable turnaround from McLaren, which 12 months a🐽go, had the slowest car in F🔥1.

A number of substantial upgrade packages, starting wiꦛth Austria 🥀last year, has propelled McLaren from the midfield to regular podium finisher, to now race winner.

Bu♉tton has explained why McLaren deserve a lot of credit for getting “the 🌠most difficult thing in F1” right.

“The correlation seems to be amazing at McLaren,” Button said. “The upgrades they had last year made a massive differen𝓀ce - it did what it said on the tin. That’s the most difficult thing in F1.

“Yes, you’ve got to have great people within the team but having that correlation, CFD, aero, simulations, track - massive. Theꦿy have confꦉidence in it all so they can keep building on that. I hope it works at other tracks,

“Hopefully it’s not track dependent here. Very differen👍t🐽 tracks, the next couple. I do hope it’s going to continue.”

McLaren introduced a significant upgrade in Miami, with rivals Ferrari se🅰🌳t to do the same at Imola as they look to close the gap to Red Bull.

Assessing the championship battle, Button added: “The championship, whatever happens happens. The next couple of races we’re going to﷽ keep an eye on McLaren. Red Bull are not going to just keep an eye on Ferrari.

“It’s very different from the way of thinking going into a raceℱ weekend knowing they’ve got that challenge from McLaren. The strategy is a little bit differe🌱nt. They’ve got to be on their toes the whole time.”

Former IndyCar driver Danica Patrick believes the impact of McLaren’s ꦆupdates should give them hope of seriously challenging Red Buꦫll in the coming months.

“I mean Zak was just saying let’s bring some more updates,” sh𝔉e explained. “They just brought 10. If that’s 𝄹his mentality and that is possible. They have that in the budget and they have the minds to create it, then I don’t see a reason why they wouldn’t keep going.

“Look, he really outshined Red Bull and Max today. He just drove away from him. It didn’t seem so obvious the upgrades were responsible but in the race it looked like they wꦉere leaps and bounds better.”
