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.

So i deleted a bunch of Posts. Remember this is the CAR Thread, this is about the technical aspects of the Car.
Top Speed analysation, promised HP of Updates and such are to be Discussed in the Team Thread. Technical Discussion about the Honda PU has it's own Thread too.

Based on visual, i like swallow rectangular RW compared to spoon type one, but i dont have the idea to compare its performance. Without T wing, MCL 32 is a good looking car IMO. However, their FW is still a barn door compared to STR one. I guess we will see the lower DF version on monza

My guess is , if they know in advance they will not be competitive, they will not make a track specific config. Just keep advancing the package as a whole.

Fernando said in an interview that they were debuting a new diffuser, but it is difficult to detect differences.

Also, the top suspension looks different to me.

The "bulges" looks bigger where it forks towards the chassis - bottom picture.

The edge of the diffuser gurney is less extreme in the Baku verison, more rounded.

Low downforce FW

The bottom part of the wing curves downwards as well - on the inside.

Modified Cascade Element (new one on Top): https://twitter.com/AlbertFabrega/statu ... 3196358657 Edit: Found on the Autosport Forum:

That's the FW they ran in Baku with the new Cascades

And the 'normal' Wing in Comparison again

And finally the original Baku Wing is present too. So 4 FW Iterations to Test. https://twitter.com/HondaRacingF1/statu ... 5733534721
