Despite their significant lead in the Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship standings, McLaren introduced a set of upgrades for the Austrian Grand Prix, aiming to unlock even more performance from the MCL39. The early returns are more than positive.

Oscar Piastri says he and McLaren teammate Lando Norris are “still free to race” for the Formula 1 title after their collision at the Canadian Grand Prix.

McLaren introduced a new front suspension in Montreal, which was run only on Lando Norris ’ car. Piastri stuck with the older suspension, which he’s been using for the entire season. The Australian extended his lead over Norris to 22 points after the race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
