...and no bridge wing.

Me too.

Also I think it's the 1st season when Toyota doesn't look 'aerodynamically retarded' :-k

new front wing?


Its not obviously different, but when McLaren run an unpainted part, you can bet it is new. All four elements of the front wing are in bare carbon fibre.

Judging from the bottom extensions on the end plates, they've gone for a wider front wing. The extensions used to have a flat section between the endplate and the "bulge", whereas it appears the bulge now connects directly to the endplates. (well, at least on the front edge)
