McLaren is set to "cash in" on its Formula 1 aerodynamic testing over the first part of the season, after bringing relatively few upgrades in the opening 14 races.
The aerodynamic testing regulations (ATR) in contemporary F1 restricts how much wind tunnel time and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) resources can be used, with each team receiving limits. These are allocated depending on their constructors' championship position in 2023 for the first half of the year, and then changed to fit the 2024 placings after 30 June.
