Despite having introduced an updated floor, McLaren's F1 car 'still has too much drag', according to Brown.

"Well, we still have too much drag, which is pretty obvious, and so we need to create downforce without the drag," said Brown, whose team is fifth in the standings, having benefited from rival Alpine's misfortune.

"We did bring some new bits to the car. We knew, as we said at the start of the year that it was going to be a bit of a slow start, so it was good to see the team did an excellent job with the upgrades.Baku's new-look sprint format with just a single 60-minute practice session didn't help the teams bring upgrades to the street circuit.

Therefore, Brown thinks his squad will be able to extract more potential out of its new package with more free practice running at this weekend's regular format Miami Grand Prix.
