McLaren in Imola, the MCL36 on track with Piastri and Norris

On the way to Australia, a stop in Imola

Fresh from the good results achieved especially by Oscar Piastri in Saudi Arabia and close to the very long trip to Australia, McLaren decided to stop for a few days in Italy. In fact, the Woking team has pitched the tents at Imola Where Two days of testing are scheduled today and tomorrow for the two drivers owners of the team managed by Andrea Stella.

Piastri in the car today, tomorrow it's Norris' turn

Today he got behind the wheel of the MCL36 – the car used by McLaren in the 2022 season – indeed Plateswhile tomorrow will be the turn of Lando Norris. The absolute ban on using single-seaters from the current season makes these test days a training ground especially for drivers and teams, who can refine their respective tasks and always stay focused in a year that will see a record number of Grands Prix take place, as many as 24.

Finally a 'chromatic' notation: the McLaren team used one for these two days of testing 'naked' liveryalways papaya-carbon but without any of the numerous sponsors usually present on the car.
