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.

Is that the first time we’ve seen Mclaren run stays for the floor?

No, they have run them for several practice sessions, although I don’t think they have run them in a race.

Wasn't the new diffuser a test only item that the team is still to introduce?

The steps from the tub on the rear part of the floor are interesting and I believe fairly unique to the MCL36, also note the vortex generators on the flap on the sides of the floor

Have they reduced or eliminated the flow that runs from the bib to the top of the floor?
Is that a bib wing that's been added?
I cant see clear enough to tell.
