TECH REVIEW: McLaren has "been pushing with things," claims Norris as he praises the team's latest upgrades

Hot on the heels of his stellar performance at last Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix, McLaren driver Lando Norris has revealed that "the upgrades were working as they should have done."

For last weekend's Austrian Grand Prix, McLaren brought three performances upgrades. The front suspension has been updated with the aim to improve flow conditioning.

"A revision to the Front Suspension fairings aiming at an overall improvement of flow conditioning which results in an aerodynamic performance gain," noted McLaren.

Complementing the aforementioned modifications to the front suspension, the aerodynamic devices on the front corner have been adopted to "allow full exploitation of the flow conditioning improvements."

The British outfit has also introduced changes to the rear corner of the MCL39. The team brought an alternative rear suspension geometry which requires "a revision of rear corner aerodynamic surfaces to maintain clearances as well as aerodynamic performance."

Pushed on to assess McLaren's upgrades at last Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix, Lando Norris has revealed that "the upgrades were working as they should have done."

"I mean, our strengths here were the high speed, so I want to hope it's a similar case next weekend, but it's still a very different track. It's a different layout.

"We're not going to take anything for granted. But the upgrades were working as they should have done today, and that's certainly a good sign.

"So I think we give a lot of credit to everyone back in MTC and to the whole team for giving us another very, very good car, upgrades that we just can put on – they've been a little while and we've been pushing with things – but we put them on the car, and they worked as they should.

"So we're satisfied. The team is satisfied and excited for next weekend. The best race weekend of the year, in my opinion. To have my own grandstand, to have the British fans for McLaren and for myself is something I'm looking forward to for sure."
