McLaren MCL35

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.

Turning vanes under front suspension look new
They should be, one of the parts that is getting replaced for testing versus renders. Although I thought they were already changed on the launch car.

@_cerber1, do you know if @TheBestF1.es are reliable, regarding sources or info? They’re the second outlet reporting the introduction of the S-duct on the MCL35 for winter testing. Perhaps they’re just lifting that from Piola’s article on Motorsport.com?
I dont know. But sometimes, what they write comes true. We can only wait.

There is talk about why don’t McLaren utilise the full height of the bargeboards in the area allowed around the nose

Like Mercedes, I don’t think McLaren need to use this full height. Both Ferrari and RB appear to utilise it to control the air coming off of their Upper wishbones, however McLaren’s and Mercedes upper wishbones are mounted higher up in line with the sidepod intake, Probably at a height higher than what the bargeboards would be permissible to reach

Bargeboard looks so complex in daylight
Do you think it’s a lot different to the launch renders and the launch car at MTC?

Similar year, but there are subtle changes, the boomerang looks wider and the upright strokes toward the front have changed

Do you see that as a positive given how much people think McLaren were a little underdeveloped in this area last season and previously?
