McLaren MCL32 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.

Where exactly? Doesn't look like anything new to my (admittedly very sleepy) eyes.

small wingled on sidepod vane(or wing) low down close to place where it meats bardgeboard.

Interesting small channel on outboard diffuser. That flat plate looks very crude.

I have been thinking that from the first time I saw it. If one compares this diffuser and it's edges to other cars (Ferrari for example) it looks so simple, still launch spec. Also there are no cuts in front of the rear tire. I keep thinking this still launch spec the floor/diffuser.

Interesting, they went with a wider bodywork at the back instead of a tighter bodywork. Might be due to overheating issues?

There must be something new on the back. They're not even showing him leaving the garage fully

Maybe Honda is wanting some feedback from the mechanics? A good mechanic always has valuable feedback for things like part layouts, and why some parts fail and some don't.
