2026 Brazil GP: McLaren's reported wing update

Autosport and Motorsport.com reported McLaren plans Brazil Grand Prix upgrades, including a front wing concept said to inform its 2027 car.

Autosport and Motorsport.com reported that McLaren plans to bring upgrades to its MCL40 for the 2026 Brazil Grand Prix. Both outlets said the package includes a front wing concept expected to appear on the team’s 2027 challenger, although the update has not been officially confirmed by McLaren.

The same reports said the Brazil package follows McLaren’s substantial Hungary update, after which Lando Norris won that race. That makes the Brazil development an emerging story rather than a confirmed team announcement.

McLaren remains one of Formula 1’s established names through founder Bruce McLaren, who made 103 world championship entries from 1958 to 1970 and recorded four wins and 27 podiums.
