McLaren MCL35M

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 new iteration of rear brake winglets should be on the car this weekend - rapid prototyped bits so should be easy to spot.

(That's the 3rd version of them this year already for people grumbling about lack of upgrades :wink: )

Assuming the pictures are to scale, the rear outlet is smaller than before, i.e. tighter bodywork.

That was actually added for Imola if I’m not wrong

Imola was three... Now we have four...
Where's the 4th fin? I only see 3.

The 4th one is next to / inside the 1st one... Furthest from the tyre...

I wonder if there’s a new floor and updated bargeboards.

The real stand-out for me from that picture is the shear quantity of floor visible on the McLaren as compared to the other two. Very narrow side pods.

Yep, that's a significant update. Let's hope it works.

Still P1, but as expected, that S3 really highlights the front-end weakness on low-speed. Lost almost 0.4s to Lewis in those last couple of corners. It should be less than that come qualifying, but it still shows where McLaren is currently lacking to the top.
