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.

Meanwhile, the changes made to the monkey seat enabled McLaren to maximise its operation in relation to the diffuser and rear wing.

The support was increased significantly in length, placing the winglet much further away from the exhaust plume, which it is looking to interact with.

The winglet itself was all new too, with a much more extreme curvature present in the central portion and trailing edge, whilst its predecessor had been much flatter.

I'm just glad it's not an improper low down force wing. The new monkey seat is being used.
