What happened: The new parts are intended to form the foundation for McLaren's 2027 car. Team principal Andrea Stella said the front-wing concept introduced in Brazil improved driveability and predictability.

Why it matters: The package gives McLaren another chance to assess ideas for next season during a 2026 race weekend. Las Vegas has been a difficult circuit for the team.

By the numbers: At São Paulo, the pole sitter went on to win the race.

What to watch: The Las Vegas Grand Prix will provide the next test of the MCL40 upgrades.
