McLaren brought a further updated MCL60 to Singapore, but it was that team’s previous big update – in Austria – which seemed to have triggered a light bulb moment in other teams, judging by the very similar updates brought here by Alfa Romeo, Alpine and AlphaTauri.
When McLaren lifted up the forward part of their sidepod – and with it the floor tunnel inlets – with the Austria update, it hit upon probably one of the Red Bull RB19’s secrets and gave the McLaren a huge performance boost.
