And another great visual breakdown of the McLaren floor updates introduced at the BritishGP:

Didn't they run the macarena wing?

Didn't they run the macarena wink?

Noup. They decided to postpone the test until next race where the schedule is to use entire FP1 to back to back comparison vs actual solution. Belgium will be a great opportunity cause the track layout, vs Hungaroring where the Macarena solution is not adding same impact.

McLaren’s latest update at the BritishGP, at first glance, it seems has simply copied Ferrari by horizontally splitting the floorboard inlet. In reality, the change goes further.



McLaren has completely removed the upper "teeth", leaving the upper section entirely open. The remaining teeth (highlighted below in yellow) are also much longer than Ferrari’s.
On the SF26, the floorboard’s main leading edge (in blue) is thicker, which naturally shortens the teeth.


The intermediate divider (highlighted in green) works like a slat on an aircraft wing, as explained by Scarbs.
