I'm hoping the sidepod they bring is a novel concept! Something out of the box

It seems only Lando will have full upgrade this race, according to Luke Smith:

"Piastri on McLaren's updates arriving in Austria: "We’ve got upgrades on Lando’s car this weekend. The plan was to have [them] for both of us at Silverstone, but the team have done a good job getting one set forward for this weekend." #F1 #AustrianGP"

The thought crossed my mind after struggling to see any major changes after seeing the pictures I’ve seen so far.

Based on the (one) picture so far; they appear to be thinking firmly within the box. :roll:

Further pictures may well say otherwise, though.

Why would we want to see anything outside the box? Mercedes have been thinking outside it for the last 18 months🤦🏼‍♂️

According to SkyF1 Lando Norris has revealed McLaren's upgrades at the Austrian Grand Prix will bring performance to the car for the first time this season.
"The team have done a good job. We weren't meant to have these bits here originally, it was only meant to be for Silverstone. So it's good we have pushed through as many things as we could, especially with it being a Sprint Race - two races to potentially score points," Norris told Sky Sports F1.

"So it's the first upgrade that's really meant to bring performance and make us go quicker. It's been a difficult start and I'm hoping it will be the thing that allows us to score points more easily."

Piastri added: "The plan was to have it for both of us in Silverstone but the team have done a very good job of getting one set forward for this weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing how that performs

"We got a stable package on my side of the team. We know exactly what it's capable of, so still try to get into the points and do what we can."
