McLaren enjoyed a notable step forward with their high-speed performance 💝at Silverstone as they had their best qualifying and race result of the 𝔉2023 season so far.
And McLaren’s impressive progress has caught the eye of Mercedes technical director James Allison, who admitted his team is in the process o♋f analysing photos of their rival’s upgrade.
"We keep an eye on all the teams as theꦏy upgrade," Allison said in Mercedes’ post-British Grand Prix debrief. “We take lots of photos and we try and figure🐽 out what changes from race to race.
"We note when something new or unusual comes along. The interesting and unusual thing about the McL༒aren upgrade is that its lap time effe✱ct is quite strong. It's unusual to have a step of that size of relative competitiveness in the middle of a season and chapeau to them.
"They've done a good piece of work there, but that also makes it interesting for us because we have the bef꧅ore 💝and after shots and we know the lap time effect was big.
"We know✃ that whatever changed has made a meaningful difference to their lap time. It's quite useful for us to know what that was and see whether it can play into our own thoughts of developing our own car.”

Allison is hopeful Mercedes can end up at the front of a fluctuating chasing pack behind Red Bull -🥂 which includes the likes of Ferrari, Aston Martin and McLaren - as the development race hots up.
"For us yes, you will see the upgra💮des coming for a little while long💝er. I suspect for the others too,” he explained.
🐠"What you will get in this next sequence of races is a little bit of yo-yoing for position in a very closely packed bunch as upgrades make the difference for one team for a while, until someone else will come out📖 of sequence with another upgrade a race or two later to even things back out.
"Where it will all settle down for the final quarter to one third of a season, we wil𒁏l see. Hopefully we will have our noses in front and be able to have a strong second half of the season.”
