Also significant were the developments McLaren chose not to introduce or to delay: although the team developed a new floor as part of its Miami package, it did not introduce a second revision despite its modelling indicating the new floor would improve the MCL38's downforce. McLaren's competitors in the early season, particularly Ferrari and Aston Martin, introduced floor upgrades in pursuit of increased downforce but sacrificed driveability and ultimately lap time as a result.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Noble |first=Jonathan |date=2024-09-05 |title=Why McLaren is holding back on its upgraded floor |url=https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/why-mclaren-is-holding-back-on-its-upgraded-floor/10651246/ |access-date=2024-09-14 |website=[[Motorsport.com]] |publisher=[[Motorsport Network]] |language=en |archive-date=14 September 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240914060928/https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/why-mclaren-is-holding-back-on-its-upgraded-floor/10651246/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Kalinauckas |first=Alex |date=2024-09-09 |title=The restraint unity that's meant McLaren avoiding F1 2024’s widespread floor pain |url=https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/the-restraint-unity-thats-meant-mclaren-avoiding-f1-2024s-widespread-floor-pain/10652716/ |access-date=2024-09-14 |website=[[Motorsport.com]] |publisher=[[Motorsport Network]] |language=en |archive-date=14 September 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240914060928/https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/the-restraint-unity-thats-meant-mclaren-avoiding-f1-2024s-widespread-floor-pain/10652716/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
