This season, Formula 1 teams are resorting to various tricks to reduce the weight of cars. So Williams dropped some of the paint on the car and McLaren downsized the hydration system.
“The heat has been a big factor in Miami,” said British team driver Daniel Ricciardo. – It was also difficult because our team, like everyone else, struggles with the extra weight of the car.
Now we cannot afford such a luxury as a three liter hydration system. Yes, we have something to drink, but that’s not enough. Naturally, the rider feels dehydrated in such a situation.
Speaking of the upcoming race in Barcelona, Ricciardo expressed hope that McLaren will add on the Spanish circuit: “It’s hard to say what positions we’ll be in, but I hope the weekend will go better than in Miami. We are still behind and the current problems remind me of last year.
Last year on some circuits, such as Zandvoort with long corners, we fought to get into the top ten. This year the situation is similar. In 2021 the track in Barcelona suited me better than others, so I hope it will be like that this year too.”
