McLaren team manager Andreas Seidel confirmed that there will be no pos
sibility to experiment with an old car in preparation for the Austria Grand Prix for the 2020 season of the Formula 1 World Championship.
Opinion: For those who will excel within the Big Three while heading to Austria
As the 2020 season of Formula 1 kicks off next month from the Austrian Red Bull Ring, this will be the first time that drivers have driven Formula 1 cars in official stakes since the winter trials ended in February.
As a result, this week, the Mercedes team is completing experiments in the Silverstone circuit with its drivers Lewis Hamilton and Valtieri Potas using a car dating to the season 2018, and it is planned that the Ferrari team will similarly soon in the Fiorano circuit, in order to ensure the drivers are prepared in the best possible way.

But for McLaren, the situation is complicated. The laws provide that cars dating from 2016 to 2018 can only be used in these experiments. Because the team used Honda power units in 2016 and 2017, the use of a car in one of these seasons is not possible due to the lack of workable power units.
While the McLaren 2018 season that uses Renault engines is different in terms of design philosophy, according to Seidel's view, which means that there is no point in completing experiments, knowing that the McLaren team uses Mercedes power units next season.
