迈凯伦将在本周末的巴西大奖赛为其MCL40一级方程式赛车带来升级，其中包括一个预计将用于其2027款赛车的前翼概念。
车队在匈牙利对MCL40进行大幅升级后曾冲到前列，兰多·诺里斯赢下了那场比赛以及随后的赞德沃特站，但此后尽管在巴库引入了又一套全面升级方案、在奥斯汀带来更多新部件，车队在竞争顺序中仍有所回落。
在最近四节排位赛中，迈凯伦拥有第四快的赛车，平均落后杆位0.511秒，落后第三快的挑战者0.236秒，但仍在努力改进MCL40——同时着眼于2027年。
“作为我们正常研发周期的一部分，我们为赛车带来了一些更新，涉及前翼、后翼和一些底板部件，”首席技术官（空气动力学）彼得·普罗德罗穆说。“目标是缩小差距，在剩余比赛中提升我们的表现，并为明年积累势头。
“圣保罗过去对我们来说是一条不错的赛道，也是一条相当有代表性的赛道，所以我们希望这些升级能帮助我们再向前迈进一步。

“赛季尚未结束：这些升级旨在立即提升赛车性能，并帮助我们在争夺年度第三名的战斗中取得优势。虽然我们从这些升级中获得的经验将用于明年的开发，但我们还期望将新前翼的概念延续到明年赛车的发布规格中。”
迈凯伦目前落后第三名红牛17分，但在过去五轮比赛中仅获得59分，而对手获得了152分。
墨西哥站的比赛仍然令人鼓舞，诺里斯获得第五名，仅落后分站冠军马克斯·维斯塔潘12秒，但这位卫冕世界冠军对接下来几轮比赛并不乐观。
“如果我们看看巴库和其他比赛，我认为我们在速度上仍会挣扎，”他在周日晚上表示。“因此，我们仍然需要在某些赛道和某些方面对赛车进行大幅改进。”
“今天情况不错，但我不认为如果我们回到那些我们挣扎过的赛道，就会突然变好。只是今天适合我们，但我不想在性能上依赖一点希望和运气。
“我们知道需要改进什么，这需要时间，希望我们在巴西能有更好的一天。”

McLaren to introduce 2027 F1 front wing at Brazil GP
McLaren will further update its 2026 car at Interlagos, with parts that should carry over to next year’s challenger
McLaren will introduce upgrades to its MCL40 Formula 1 car at this weekend’s Brazil Grand Prix, featuring a front wing concept which is expected to feature on its 2027 challenger.
The team had surged to the front when it substantially updated the MCL40 in Hungary, with Lando Norris winning that race and the following one at Zandvoort, but it has since slipped back in the pecking order despite introducing another comprehensive upgrade package in Baku and further new parts in Austin.
McLaren had the fourth-quickest car in the last four qualifying sessions, with a 0.511s deficit to pole position and a 0.236s gap to the third-fastest challenger on average, but is still working away at improving the MCL40 – with an eye on 2027.
“We’ve got some updates coming to the car across the front wing, rear wing and some floor components as part of our normal development cycle,” said Peter Prodromou, chief technical officer, aerodynamics. “The aim is to make up ground, improve our performance over the remaining races and build momentum into next year.
“Sao Paulo has been a good circuit for us in the past and is a fairly representative track, so we’re hopeful these upgrades can help us take another step towards the front.
Peter Prodromou, McLaren Technical Director Aerodynamics
“The season isn't over yet: these upgrades are designed to improve the car now and help us in our fight for third in the championship. While the learning we take from these upgrades will feed into next year’s development, we also expect to carry over the concept of the new front wing into the launch specification of next year’s car.”
McLaren has a 17-point deficit to third-placed Red Bull but has scored just 59 points to its rival’s 152 across the last five rounds.
The Mexican race was still encouraging, with Norris taking fifth just 12 seconds adrift of race winner Max Verstappen, yet the reigning world champion wasn’t optimistic for the next few rounds.
“If we look at Baku and stuff, I think we're still going to be struggling for pace,” he said on Sunday evening. “So we need to improve the car in certain tracks and certain areas still a lot more.
“Today it was good, but I'm not convinced that if we go back to the tracks we struggled at we'd be good all of a sudden. It's just today suited us, but I don't want to rely on a bit of hope and luck on performance.
“We know what we need to improve on, it just takes time, and hopefully we can have a better day in Brazil.”
