McLaren CEO Zak Brown teased “fun stuff” coming for the team at Monza, with a significant set-up change coming at the weekend.
The Italian Grand Prix sees the teams run in their lowest downforce settings of the season, with Monza seeing the highest average speeds on the calendar – a contrast from the specifications the teams will have run at Zandvoort last time out.
McLaren boss teases ‘fun stuff coming’ at Monza
McLaren made a dent into the lead of both Max Verstappen in the Drivers’ Championship and Red Bull in the Constructors’ Championship after Lando Norris dominated the Dutch Grand Prix, winning by 22.8 seconds on Sunday.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner admitted McLaren are now the “benchmark” team in Formula 1 as it stands, and Norris himself acknowledged his team “100 per cent” have the best car on the grid.
Given the cars are changing significantly for the weekend regardless of any additional upgrades, with low-downforce wings attached to them at Monza, the McLaren CEO believes Red Bull will be a threat this weekend.
