Mclaren MP4-30 Honda

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

A bit OT, but I can't wait for the winter testing to start and to see mp4-31 in action.
its going to be 5 seconds per lap faster than 30 in Jerez! :mrgreen:
Is that a quote from big Ron? :lol:

So bassicaly if a team bring(to AD race) an experimental front and rear wings(for example) and bolts those for 1 lap during free practices,that gives them right to use those during the post race test?

As i understand yes, but it won't be much use since they can not run Aero Rakes or Sensors. Plus Setup and Tire Pressure Changes are dictated by Pirelli.

Better than nothing but far from real testing.
