迈凯伦称法拉利升级数量鼓舞人心，力求跟上步伐
迈凯伦表示，法拉利在2026赛季前半段推出的大量F1赛车升级令其印象深刻，车队正努力理解并跟上其升级节奏，以持续推出自己的升级。

迈凯伦表示，法拉利在2026赛季上半程推出的大量一级方程式赛车升级是一种“鼓舞”，因为它也计划持续推出自己的升级。
新规则时代的开启引发了2026赛季上半程的一场巨大的研发大战，其中法拉利和红牛尤其让对手印象深刻，因为它们能够从工厂快速推出大量升级件。
这场研发竞赛预计将在夏休期后继续进行，随后随着各车队把重心转向2027年而逐渐减弱。法拉利和迈凯伦已经各自为赛车带来了足够多的改进，开始从起初占据统治地位的梅赛德斯车队手中抢走分站冠军。
迈凯伦在八月的荷兰大奖赛上至少还有一发子弹可用，而梅赛德斯由于迄今为止带到赛道上的新部件少于对手，预计也将部署进一步的升级。
不过，和梅赛德斯一样，迈凯伦也特别点名法拉利，认为该车队在赛车升级的数量和质量上令人印象最为深刻，以至于促使沃金车队审视自己的流程，试图赶上马拉内罗的设计和制造速度。
迈凯伦的工程技术总监尼尔·霍尔德伊说：“我认为我们在为赛车带来大量提升性能的升级方面做得相当不错。但看看我们的竞争对手，有些车队（比如法拉利）今年干得非常出色，把研发工作不断向前推进。”
当Motorsport.com问到，他是否觉得法拉利在F1预算上限下把研发预算前置投入了，因此也许给了迈凯伦在夏休期之后大放异彩的机会时，霍尔德伊回答说：“嗯，我认为我们也把可用的资源进行了前置投入。
“我要说，从工作量来看，法拉利确实看起来完成了大量工作，这值得我们去研究和理解他们是怎样做到的。因为你要从空气动力学研发的角度看这个问题，也要从制造的角度看这个问题。
“实际上，他们如此迅速地完成了这一切，这对我们是一种激励，让我们去思考：‘来吧，我们在2024年做得很好，2025年也做得很好。但实际上，我们怎样才能在2026年做得更好，并在迈向2027年时继续保持呢？’
“这些事情，和一级方程式里的任何事物一样，如果你不向前迈进、不寻找更快更有效地做事的方法，那么实际上你就是在自己倒退。所以，我认为对我们来说，看到别人能做到什么程度、以及我们该如何做到，是一个很好的教训。”
霍尔迪表示，迈凯伦打算在本赛季很晚的时候仍然继续研发其2026年赛车，而不是提前把重心转向2027年，因为他认为车队所能吸取的经验教训仍然适用于2027年的项目，即使迈凯伦计划改变赛车设计的一些关键要素，例如轴距和悬架几何结构。
“我们预计接下来几场比赛会带来一些重大部件，而且我们预计会在赛季相当晚的阶段才这么做，”他透露道。“我们当然不会停止2026年的研发，因为我们知道，无论我们从2026年带到2027年的是什么，这些经验都会延续下去。
“即使我们的赛车可能会稍微变长一点，即使悬架在概念上可能会有所改变，我们今年所学到的一切对明年来说仍然非常相关。所以，我们非常希望在尽可能长的时间里继续研发这辆赛车。”

McLaren trying to understand Ferrari's 'inspirational' upgrade volume
McLaren says it is trying to figure out how Ferrari has been able to turn around an impressive volume of in-season upgrades in the 2026 Formula 1 season

McLaren says Ferrari's vast number of Formula1 car upgrades over the first half of the 2026 season is an "inspiration" as it aims to keep rolling out updates of its own.
The dawn of a new era of regulations triggered a huge development war over the first half of the 2026 campaign, with Ferrari and Red Bull in particular impressing rivals with the quantity of upgrades they have been able to fast-track out of the factory.
That development race is expected to continue after the summer break, before tapering off as teams switch focus to 2027. Ferrari and McLaren have already both brought enough improvements to their respective cars to start snatching race wins away from the initially dominant Mercedes team.
McLaren has at least one more bullet in the chamber for August's Dutch Grand Prix, while Mercedes is also expected to deploy further upgrades after bringing less novelties to the track than its rivals thus far.
But, like Mercedes, McLaren has also singled out Ferrari as the squad that has impressed the most with the quantity and quality of its car upgrades so far, to the extent that it has prompted the Woking squad to look at its own processes to try and match Maranello's design and manufacturing pace.
"I think we've done a pretty good job of bringing a lot of upgrades that have added performance to the car," said McLaren's engineering technical director Neil Houldey. "But when you look around at our competitors, there are teams [like] Ferrari, who've done a fantastic job this year to just drive that development forward."
When asked by Motorsport.com if he felt Ferrari had front-loaded its development budget under F1's cost cap, and therefore perhaps created opportunities for McLaren to make a bigger splash after the summer, Houldey replied: "Well, I think we've been front-loading what we've got available.
"I'd say from a volume stand it does look like Ferrari have managed to do a lot, and it's something for us to look at and understand how they were able to achieve that. Because you look at that from an aerodynamic development point of view, you look at it from a manufacturing point of view.
"Actually, how they turned around this stuff so quickly, it's an inspiration for us to look at and say: 'Come on, we did well in 2024. We did well in 2025. But actually, how do we do even better in 2026 and moving forward into 2027?
"These things, as with anything in F1, if you're not moving forward and finding ways of doing things faster and more effectively, then you're effectively going backwards yourself. So, I think it was a good lesson for us to see what other people are capable of and how we do that."
Houldey said McLaren intends to keep developing its 2026 challenger late into the season rather than switch focus to 2027 early, because he feels the lessons the team can learn still apply to the 2027 project, even if McLaren is planning to change key elements of its car design such as its wheelbase and suspension geometry.
"We expect the next few races to be bringing some major parts, and we expect to do that quite late on into the season as well," he revealed. "We're certainly not stopping development on 2026 because we know that whatever we take from 2026 into 2027, that learning will carry over.
"Even if our car might get a little bit longer, even if conceptually the suspension might change, everything that we're learning this year is very much relevant for next year. So, we're very keen to keep developing the car for as long as we possibly can."
