McLaren MP4-31 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.

So Button doesn't have a Batwing mounted in FP2. I'm still not 100% convinced we're not just seeing things. ^^

Edit: but this Picture from the McLaren twitter of Alonso's Car looks like he das one mounted......

Need a side shot from Fernando.

Edit 2: Ok just seen on TV, Fernando definitely has a RB Style Batwing mounted.

Surely those balloons will increase lift?

I need to get out more... #-o
Look at the shape of the ballons. no way they have a top 3 Chassis. Way to much drag penalty. And they didn't even use them in FP 1 or 2

I just love how you can judge drag by eye. McLaren should hire you instead of spending time and money in the wind tunnel and on track, testing...

you realize that was a joke, right? Because there's balloons on the car?

Of course it was a joke :) I was joking back, but I think I didn't make that obvious enough in my post

I am known to sound serious even when I'm joking

https://twitter.com/Motorsport/status/7 ... 1602971650 Why is Mclaren batwing directing air opposite of RB batwing?

It doesn't, both designs push airflow down toward the T-tray

Yep, its just the normal nose, although the shape of the surface is much more visible in this picture due to lighting
