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.

Can't be 100% that it's not just a lighting change without more pics, but it looks like they tightened the undercut slightly when they added the air vents. Might just be those pics though.

I don't know why, but I love the look of this car.

It just looks so *complete (for a lack of a better word) compared to the previous years.

You can find intricate little details everywhere you look.

I've been saying this for a while now. The most complete looking car from Mclaren for a long time. Compare this to the very basic Mcl34 and theres so much more complexity to this car.

Are there a few new ‘creases’ in the wing over the top of the side pod intake, where the newly relocated Coca Cola sponsorship has been re-located?

Is this pulling in rear tyre wake to speed up air under the rear wing?

Significantly, in the racing specification, this hole was on one side. This can be clearly seen in the highlights of the race.
