McLaren’s new MCL38 Formula One car made its track debut at a soggy Silverstone on Wednesday with team chief executive Zak Brown setting out a target of wins as well as podiums this season.
The former champions finished fourth overall in 2023 with Britain’s Lando Norris and Australian rookie Oscar Piastri.
Norris finished on the podium seven times, including six second places, while Piastri was second in Qatar and third in Japan.
“We feel good, it’s been a good winter. We’re happy with the development,” Brown told Sky Sports television. “It feels like we’ve continued on our development pace from where we were in the second half of last year.
“So as long as the data is accurate I think we should start pretty strong. Of course you never know what the competition is doing but we definitely feel we’ve taken a step forward.”
Norris has yet to win a race in 104 starts while Piastri has only 22 grands prix under his belt but Brown said a first win for the team since Daniel Ricciardo’s 2021 victory at Monza could be on the cards.
