McLaren have explained their approach to developing what they have described as being an “innovative” 2025 F1 car.

The reigning constructors’ world🌳 champions became the first F1 team to reveal their 2025 challenger ahead of the start of the new season on Thursday, with their new MCL39 breaking cover at Silverstone.

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella said his side focused🎀 on two🦋 key areas to enhance performance with their new car.

“It is a car in which we tr𝐆ied to raiꩵse the bar in many areas,” Stella explained.

“Including the fundamental layout, something that definitely we evaluated carefully, because the MCL38 was already a competitive car, so we needed to be con💎scious, considerate as to how𓃲 much we wanted to innovate, but ultimately we went for a relatively challenging approach in terms of how much of innovation is in this car.

“This is predominantly to gain aerodynamic efficiency, to allow our colleagues in aerodynamics to have volumes to use for their geometries. At the same time, we stil♛l wanted to make some improvements in terms of interaction with the tyres, especially with lo🌄ng-run pace.

“I think they fundamentally are the two areas. Obviously, there’s some tuning on the suspension as well, in terms of the mechaniꦇcal grip, but nowadays the suspension, they pretty much tend to serve aerodynamics.”

The front and rear suspension of the MCL39🍒 feature notable changes compared to its predecessor in what is a refined approach to aerodynamics. McLaren have also adjusted the shape of the sidepods and engine cover.

Stell🎶a explained that “pretty much every fundamental component of the layout” has been modified in 🌃some way.

“Pretty much every fundamental component of the layout has been subject to som🔴e innovation in order to gain, sometimes not only by marginal gains, some technical oppor🦋tunities for development,” he continued.

“Most of the 🌜time this is to then serve the purposes of aerodynamic requirements or in some other cases for mechanical grip.

“In reality, pretty ⛦much from the front wing to the gearbox crash structure, everything has been subject to optimisation, sometimes incrementally, s🅷ometimes actually quite substantially.”
