McLaren is hoping that their new "B-Spec" car will be ready for F1 action in time for the British Grand Prix, according to Andrea Stella.

The Woking-based manufacturer has endured a tough start to 2023, displaying a lack of outright speed, especially in a straight line compared to its rivals.

Despite those issues, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have managed to score some points in the opening five rounds.

But McLaren still wants to bring a revolutionised package to the Silverstone circuit at the beginning of July to give them another level of performance.

Not the last big update

Stella, the team principal, is confident that the team can get the upgrades ready for between the Austrian and British rounds of the 2023 F1 season but insisted that there would be more to come from Woking.

“We are working on delivering the main round of upgrades between Austria and Silverstone,” Stella said to Speedcafe.

“It will be a very noticeably different car. We hope to do another round post [summer] shutdown.”
