McLaren MCL34

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.

The top pic doesn't look like damage. The diffusers generally have that profile in that area.
Hmmm....it looks pretty damaged to me

It is probably because of the perspective but that pull rod of the front-left looks quite bulky.

Is McLaren running Pullrod or Pushrod in the front suspension? I don't really know that's why I said the pullrod.

Another shot of the new diffuser. Smaller curvature in the central section. Quite a significant upgrade.

So maybe it was a major upgrade last week...the diffuser update plus....Noticed they're actually carrying the brake ducks forward, they're not only for a one off, more cooling!

Yep. It's probably for aero as I mentioned before.
