2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

Some analysis that suggests the mini DRS was almost unnoticeable in effect at Monza (About a single KPH) and would have had little impact at Vegas. It won't be without benefit, just very little. In Q almost none. Main benefit was Baku.

It gives me hope for the '26 season and it's aero rules,Rob Marshall will be king!!!

He might, but not from designing any aero. He's boss of the mechanical side.

This gap in poles is hilariously painful. Ignoring that "lucky" weather-affected session in Sochi, they literally just had a car capable of pole for the first time in 12 years this season.

You don’t need to remind us… each and every year has left a scar still, that’s all forgotten now…. CHAMPIONNNNNS

I expect we'll see his full impact on the suspension and mechnical side on the
2025 car (no doubt he's had input on the '24 car from an in season development point of view). It's a double whammy of regulation changes in '26. Teams will need good mechnical and aero platforms to get the best out of the cars.

It'll be interesting to see how McLaren packages the '26 Mercedes PU into the chassis compared to how Mercedes package it. Hopefully Mercedes produce the goods on the PU front. The starting pistol gets fired on the '26 development relatively soon.
