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.

Don't let yourself fool by the upstanding part and the angle of the picture

I hope that Picture puts and end to the Discussion. We all know Ron would rather finish last than have anything asymetric on the Car. :mrgreen:

But, but 2009...they were asymmetric then :-P
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm not a fan of those "Ron has OCD" jokes, but he wasn't on the team for 2009, I guess.

The lower Wishbone / encased Driveshaft. The angle of the Picture made it look like a Beam Wing.

And we're back in Russia.

Anything visible new on the Rear Suspension? They said they wanted to try a few Things in China but the Rain stopped them. So the cure for the Rear Tyre eating must be found here.

Probably slightly modified arms to change the toe curve, but it could be as easy as shimming the connection to the upright.

Looks the same as China Spec to me. Maybe a little more pronounced. But the Angle is deceiving.
