The British Grand Prix is likely to see McLaren introducing the low exhausts pioneered by Red Bull Racing and which appeared on the Ferrari, Mercedes GP and Renault cars last time out in Valencia. Team Principal Martin Whitmarsh reveals that the changes were set to arrive in Germany but have been developed quicker than planned.
Although Red Bull is always likely to gain the most from the idea, as its car was the only one on the grid whose design incorporated the lower exhausts, Whitmarsh is optimistic about the Adrian Newey concept which allows hot exhaust gases to channel out and contribute to rear end downforce.
“The upgrade was planned for Hockenheim but all being well we will have it for Silverstone,” Martin is quoted as saying by ESPN.
"The British Grand Prix is an important race for us and at a circuit like that we have to be competitive with Red Bull if we are going to be able to beat them this year.
“If we can be competitive there, then we have a good chance to win both championships; it will be a big race but it will not be the end of it, whatever happens - if we beat them they will not stand still and if they beat us we are not going to stand still. I hope it will be close, certainly closer than last year...”
