Does that pod/engine cover look different? Looking at the top of the Vodafone logo on the side it appears taller than the top surface which makes me see a u pod. Anyone else see that?FrukostScones wrote:high nose, normal small DRS-flap
i'd be surprised if the nuts are permanently attached to the wheels. they only really need something as simple as a circlip or a pushbutton pin to keep them from falling out but allowing them to turn.beelsebob wrote:They need to change all 4 wheels.Diesel wrote:So what happens when they crossthread a nut?
It's in two pieces - the sidepod cover and the engine cover. They're just not aligned, that's all.Coefficient wrote:Does that pod/engine cover look different? Looking at the top of the Vodafone logo on the side it appears taller than the top surface which makes me see a u pod. Anyone else see that?

Your username appears quite appropriate after a post like this.ParanoiD wrote:Just read an article on Autosport Mag, it said that McLaren opted the high nose because the lower nose has limited potential to be explored. Will this limit the potential development of the MP4-27? and if it will and let say they opted to change to higher chassis which will be costly, does that take their much of their resource which again will limit held back their development?
Just a thought anyway..
Used as a set..meaning you can't swap them individually after being on the car... but if there were not put on the car I don't see why not?myurr wrote:It's against the rules.
