Description
The McLaren MCL40 has officially debuted on track during the 2026 F1 shakedown at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, with Lando Norris putting in the team’s first laps as reigning world champion. McLaren chose to skip the opening day of testing to maximise development time and only began running their new car on the third day, using private test sessions to gather initial data under the sport’s new regulations. During these shakedown runs, practice starts — including strong launch control simulation — have been part of McLaren’s programme as they adapt to the radically changed 2026 technical rules and prepare for the pre-season test in Barcelona.
