Teams deploy new parts in Miami. McLaren brought a huge package of improvements – F1sport.cz

Another sprint weekend awaits us in Miami. Nevertheless, some teams brought significant improvements here.

It’s a sprint weekend in Miami, which means that drivers and teams will only have one practice session. Unlike in China, however, teams were already driving current cars at this circuit.

A number of teams brought big upgrade packages to Miami. Some innovations are related to the characteristics of the track, but others are intended to improve performance.

McLaren has the biggest package in this regard. On the other hand, the Alpine and Ferrari teams did not bring any new parts – the Italian team only has a modified color, but that probably won’t bring tenths per bike. Tifosi needn’t be sad though. Ferrari is already preparing news for the next race – the Grand Prix of Emila Romagna in Imola.

McLaren will deploy new front and rear suspension, a completely redesigned front wing, a completely redesigned floor, sidewalls and engine cover. The team also modified the brake ducts. In total, McLaren redesigned 10 areas of the car, although the lower wing is related to the circuit characteristics. The car’s performance is to be improved in nine areas. So this is something that can almost be called a B specification car.

Only Lando Norris should get the full package. Oscar Piastri will get roughly half and then all in Imola.

Mercedes also has news – if we exclude the cooling and the front wing, which are more related to the characteristics of the circuit, then it is the front suspension and the floor.

Williams has fitted a new front wing, but perhaps more importantly – it finally has a replacement chassis! Well, for now. Barriers are not far in Miami…

The floor was also modified by the Racing Bulls team, which also has a new diffuser.

Aston Martin has fitted parts that relate to circuit performance (lower rear wing, rear wing, cooling, front wing). It’s the same with Sauber, which brought modified wings.

The floor and diffuser treatment will be deployed by the Haas team. Red Bull has a new floor edge.
