Temple on McLaren's 2026 chassis and power unit changes

McLaren technical director for performance Mark Temple said the 2026 car is largely “a different flavour of the same thing” from a chassis perspective, but that the new power unit is a much bigger step change. Temple said: "Broadly speaking, from the chassis side, we've still got four black, round tyres. They behave differently, so you have to learn how they are different, but it's a case of being a different flavour of the same thing. And that's true across most of the car. It's like you're used to eating ready salted crisps, and someone hands you something new like paprika, or smoky bacon. The power unit, though, that's the really big change. That's more like someone asks you to try corn tortilla chips."
