The Tiny Rim That Changed Everything | F1 News
Description
McLaren’s recent wins in Budapest and Zandvoort weren’t just luck—they were the result of smart, game-changing upgrades that unlocked serious downforce and corner speed. But the real story? A tiny front wheel rim tweak, quietly developed with Enkei, that’s helping keep tires hotter and more consistent. This fix, designed to trap and transfer heat, solves a long-standing problem that plagued them at Monaco and earlier in the season—where cold front tires killed grip. While the big aerodynamic changes steal the headlines, it’s these micro-innovations that reveal how McLaren’s engineering team is relentlessly fine-tuning every detail to stay at the top.
