BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Fernando Alonso says McLaren now knows "exactly what to do" to turn its ailing performance around.
After setting its sights on podiums and potential victories with a switch to Renault power over the winter, McLaren has underperformed in the opening eleven races of the year. The team, which has undergone a major reshuffle in recent months, uncovered an aerodynamic weakness on the car in the first few races that did not show up in the wind tunnel.
As it has set about rectifying the problem, the team's results have tailed off as it has started devoting Friday practice sessions to understanding the lack of aero performance.
