The RB22 also got a upgraded front wing and sidepods.

Game changer ?

Doubtful but hopefully (!)

🚨| F1 | McLaren, Stella confirms: “A whole new MCL40 will arrive between Miami and Canada.”

— Andrea Stella, McLaren team principal, confirmed that the MCL40 will undergo significant revisions, particularly in aerodynamics, between the Miami and Montreal races. The aim is to close the gap with Mercedes and Ferrari. Stella elaborated:

“In our intent, there has always been the idea of presenting a completely new car at the turn of the two American races, especially from the point of view of aerodynamic updates. We were able to comply with this plan, and the forced stop came to our aid.”

— Stella anticipates that other teams will also introduce updates, but McLaren's changes are particularly awaited. Reflecting on past successes, he noted:

“Between Miami and Canada there will be a completely new MCL40, and that's what I also expect from most of our opponents, so it won't necessarily be a big surprise.”

— Despite the anticipation, Stella advises caution, acknowledging the challenges ahead:

“We will see who has been able to add more performance in the same amount of time, but we must remember that we still have some ground to recover compared to Mercedes and, in part, also to Ferrari.”

— Stella expressed optimism about the power unit improvements, which had previously hindered McLaren's performance:

“Thanks to the simulations, I believe that in Miami we will be able to predict the behavior of the power unit also in relation to regulatory changes.”

“I am confident that we will be able to achieve this goal and I can confirm that, in collaboration with HPP, we have taken a significant step forward compared to what was seen in Australia.”

— Stella acknowledged the complexities of managing the power unit as a client team but remains hopeful:

“I think that, as a team, we are now much better prepared. We paid a deficit, but I think it's a natural consequence of being a client team.”

This may remove the smirk from Toto's face?

Anyone have any doubts that Juan Pablo Montoya is a A$$ Hole?

Red Bull urged to consider Max Verstappen ban outside F1:

— Juan Pablo Montoya has suggested that Red Bull should halt Max Verstappen's participation in racing events outside of Formula 1. This follows a tragic accident at the Nordschleife during the Nurburgring 24 Hours Qualifiers, which resulted in the death of driver Juha Miettinen. Verstappen was also involved in the event as he prepares for his debut in the 24-hour race next month. Montoya expressed his concerns on the MontoyAS podcast:

“I have a question about this. I know that what happened is terrible. Do you think Red Bull would reconsider what permission they give Max to race those cars?”

“No, because they are afraid of losing him.”

— When asked if Red Bull should impose a ban on Verstappen racing outside of F1, Montoya was emphatic:

“100 per cent. No, sorry. 200 per cent.”

“There could be an accident, he could break his leg or arm.”

“The money that Red Bull has invested in him should be enough reason to say, 'Look, we gave you the chance, but with this accident we are reconsidering it and we think that this should not happen'.”

“Personally, I would have done it if I had been the boss of Red Bull.”

“I would have called Max and said, 'Sir, please, don't get in the car anymore.' It's something I think they really need to reconsider.”

— Montoya, reflecting on his own career, shared that he was often invited to participate in other driving opportunities, which were blocked by his team:

“For example, it's true that several times during my career I was invited to drive rally cars and do tests.”

“I would have loved that, but they never let me drive. You are investing in the driver - a big investment. Then you have to protect him.”

I think Checo has a good overview.

Checo speaking on the current state of Formula One:

‘Nobody understands this new F1; the cars aren't as fun as they used to be’😴

‘There comes a moment when you're going 80 or 90 km/h faster than the car in front and you don't know why. It's tough, you don't have the information on what's happening.’🤔

‘It's a very complicated F1, very different from what we'd been doing. All the teams have a lot to learn. As a driver, you're always looking to go as fast as possible, but now the electrical and recharging side plays a much bigger role. That makes it very different, and that's why it's been such hard work for us.’

‘The reality is that nobody gets it, not the engineers nor us drivers.’

Like everything else it will take a driver getting seriously injured or killed before they stop this madness.
