McLaren is planning further car upgrades for the remaining rounds of the 2026 Formula 1 season following a difficult United States Grand Prix in Austin. The team has struggled to compete at the front in recent races, and the Austin event highlighted the performance gap to rivals. Team leadership acknowledged the need for additional development to close that gap and improve competitiveness. While specific details of the upgrades were not disclosed, the focus will be on areas where the car has been losing time. With several races left, McLaren aims to return to fighting for podiums and points, making the development race crucial as the season concludes. The push reflects the team's commitment to ending the year on a stronger note.
