麦凯轮将使用2026年最终升级测试2027年F1赛车概念
麦凯轮宣布，其2026年F1赛车的最后一批升级也将作为测试“明年赛车将采用的基本概念”。新加坡大奖赛之后，车队负责人安德里亚·斯特拉解释了其赛季末升级计划，指出其最终更新将在接下来的三个回合中交付——奥斯汀、墨西哥城和圣保罗，以确保麦凯轮在具有不同特性的赛道上有三个回合来验证整个方案。
麦凯轮将使用2026年最终升级测试2027年F1赛车概念
麦凯轮的2026年赛季末升级将具有双重目的，新部件将为2027年F1赛车提供灵感。
麦凯轮透露，其2026年F1赛车的最后一批升级也将作为测试明年赛车将采用的基本概念。
新加坡大奖赛之后，车队负责人安德里亚·斯特拉解释了其赛季末升级计划，指出其最终更新将在接下来的三个回合中交付——奥斯汀、墨西哥城和圣保罗，以确保麦凯轮在具有不同特性的赛道上有三个回合来验证整个方案。
升级自然是为了帮助迈凯轮在2026年F1世界车队排名中取得更好的成绩，但这次升级也有双重目的，因为这支位于沃金克的队伍开始将重点转向下一年。
我们确实计划提供一些升级。我们希望这些升级能够填补我们与最佳车队之间的差距，并将迈凯轮置于能够凭借实力争夺领奖台的境地，”斯泰拉说。
至于我们是否能够争夺胜利，我认为我们可能需要在最后三场比赛中看到结果，因为升级将会分阶段进行。
对我们来说，提供升级很重要，因为我们正在为争夺冠军位置进行激烈的竞争。但我们也想证明一些将延续到下一年车型的基本概念。
Stella解释说，随着其F1赛车上的空气动力学装置已经开始成熟并变得更加复杂，车队希望试验一些可能成为其2027年F1赛车概念基础的部分。
“因为在汽车达到这个成熟度时，你开始推动空气动力学的发展，你可能会看到一些事情是可行的，但有些事情可能不可行，因为经过基本两年的发展，空气动力学开始变得足够复杂。”他说。
“如果我们考虑到开发始于2025年1月2日，现在已经是2026年。所以，经过两年的复杂发展，它可能做得对，也可能做错。”
“因此，我们希望跟踪测试一些我们带入明年的一些基本要素，我认为这相当方便，因为红牛在积分上几乎和我们持平，在竞争力方面领先。我们希望设定一个目标[追上]法拉利在锦标赛中的领先地位。”
尽管麦凯轮车队希望在F1世界车队锦标赛中向上攀升，但在新加坡大奖赛之后，他们更有可能需要从红牛车队手中捍卫目前的第三名，因为他们在积分榜上落后红牛车队七分。
法拉利车队仍然位居第二，领先麦凯轮车队105分，假设2026年F1赛历的其他赛事都能顺利进行，那么还剩下258分可以争夺，考虑到伊朗战争对卡塔尔和阿布扎比大奖赛的持续不确定性。

McLaren to use final 2026 developments to test 2027 F1 car concepts
McLaren’s late-season upgrades will have a dual purpose in 2026, with the new parts feeding ideas for its 2027 F1 car
McLaren has revealed that its last run of upgrades for its 2026 Formula 1 car will also act as tests for “fundamental concepts that will carry into next year’s car”.
After the Singapore Grand Prix, team principal Andrea Stella explained its late-season upgrade plan, indicating its final updates will be delivered across the following three rounds – Austin, Mexico City and Sao Paulo – to ensure McLaren has three rounds at tracks with different characteristics to verify the full package.
The upgrades are naturally targeted to aid McLaren’s efforts in the F1 world constructors’ standings in 2026, but there is a duel purpose to the updates as the Woking-based squad begins to shift focus towards next year.
“We do plan to deliver some upgrades. We hope that they will be able to fill this gap that we have to the best cars and put McLaren in condition to fight for podiums on merit,” Stella said.
“And then whether we can fight for the victory, this I think we will have to see probably in the last three races, because the upgrades will be delivered in phases.
“It's important for us that we deliver upgrades because we are in a close fight for a championship position. But we also want to prove some of the fundamental concepts that will carry into next year's car.”
Stella explained that with the aerodynamic devices on its F1 car already starting to mature and become more complex, the team wants to trial parts that are likely to be foundational to its 2027 F1 car concept.
“Because at this level of maturity of the cars you are starting to push the aerodynamic development and you may start to see that things work, but some things may not work, because the aerodynamics is starting to get complicated enough after what is basically two years of development,” he said.
“If we consider that the development started the 2nd of January 2025 and now, we are well into 2026. So, after two years now that it's complex, it may go right, it may go wrong.
“So, we wanted to track test some of the fundamentals we carry into next year and I think this is quite convenient because Red Bull is pretty much on par with us in terms of points and they are ahead in terms of competitiveness. And we wanted to set a quest [to catch] Ferrari in the championship.”
While McLaren is aiming to be upwardly mobile in the F1 world constructors’ championship, it is more likely to need to defend its current third place from Red Bull after the Milton Keynes-based team closed to seven points behind after the Singapore GP.
Ferrari remain second, 105 points clear of McLaren, with a maximum of 258 points left to score presuming the remainder of the 2026 F1 calendar is fulfilled given the uncertainty around the Qatar and Abu Dhabi GPs due to the ongoing war in Iran.
