A disastrous start to the 2023 F1 season has not discouraged McLaren from settings high goals with a car it still believes has the potential for much more. Here's why:
The success that Aston Martin had over the winter in making a giant leap in aero performance serves as inspiration.
"There's a lot of new bits on this car, they've actually worked pretty well," he says."So a lot of the things that we wanted to encourage learning from what we did last year, looking at our strengths and weaknesses, that has come through pretty well. It's a much better-balanced car. "That sounds very small, but these floors are huge and incredibly sensitive. Look at how much downforce it generates. So when we did it on our car, it actually gave us a much bigger loss than anticipated. It seems to have affected different teams in different ways.
"It wasn't like we were dawdling around and thinking what to do, and actually why don't we do this," says Key."It was sort of forced upon us by a recognition that the new regs weren't going to recover with what we knew from last year. "Yeah, we had a team that was dominating. But the team that was really pretty close to them most of the season had completely different philosophies with their bodywork. And they've both maintained that, and they're both still very competitive.
A solid baseline is always important, especially in the cost cap era, as Aston Martin has also made clear.If you have some fire fighting to do with fundamental issues, as most teams had in 2022 as they chased porpoising, resources have to be deployed that should have gone into making the car faster.
