Analistas apontam atualização da McLaren em Miami como possível reinício da temporada da F1

Os especialistas James Hinchcliffe e Jolyon Palmer veem a grande atualização do carro da McLaren para o Grande Prêmio de Miami — anunciada pelo chefe de equipe Andrea Stella — como um possível reinício da temporada, dada a dominância da equipe em Miami e as melhorias dos rivais.

Com base na confirmação de Andrea Stella de um carro da McLaren quase inteiramente novo para o Grande Prêmio de Miami, após os cancelamentos no Bahrein e na Arábia Saudita e ajustes regulatórios, analistas estão comentando sobre uma reviravolta competitiva. No podcast F1 Nation, o ex-piloto da IndyCar James Hinchcliffe descreveu a mudança como 'quase um reinício da temporada', observando as atualizações de todas as equipes de ponta, as vitórias da McLaren nos dois últimos GPs de Miami e a velocidade histórica da Mercedes no circuito — incluindo o bom desempenho de Kimi Antonelli no ano passado. O coapresentador Jolyon Palmer destacou que a McLaren visou deliberadamente Miami, de forma semelhante à vitória inovadora de Lando Norris com um grande pacote de atualizações no passado. Ele apontou a diferença da McLaren no início da temporada, os benefícios da pausa para treinos e adaptação, e Miami como o verdadeiro teste para a disputa pelo título.
