2026 Hungarian Grand Prix: McLaren upgrade reported

Reports from Formula1.com, Autosport and Motorsport.com say McLaren will bring Hungary upgrades, while Lando Norris has kept expectations measured.

Reports around McLaren’s Hungarian Grand Prix package remain unconfirmed, but Autosport and Motorsport.com both said the team is set to trial an upside-down rear wing in practice at Budapest as part of a wider update. With no primary team announcement in the supplied sources, that remains a reported development rather than a confirmed change.

Formula1.com reported that Lando Norris has played down expectations for the new parts ahead of the weekend. Norris arrived at this point in the 2026 season fifth in the drivers' championship on 103 points, and the McLaren driver had recorded 11 wins and 16 poles from 161 Grands Prix starts, which adds context to his cautious line before running begins.
