It's a cheap method of upgrading. McLaren usually rely on a strong base concept, which is why their cars tend to look clean (or underdeveloped in some eyes). But since this is the final year of these regulations this is a more cost effective way of clawing some extra performance.
I think with 2022 and the cost cap in place, that we will see more and more of these "3d printed" accessories added around the cars as they are relatively cheap to manufacture, and can add some flow management without a huge investment of time or resources.Xero wrote: ↑02 Jul 2021, 16:32It's a cheap method of upgrading.

Energising and directing the air to hit the wingtip to become a stronger vortex, but creating an area of low pressure after the blades that will ensure vortex has a tighter fit with the floor by pulling the vortex inboard. The most beautiful solutions are the most simple.
