McLaren MCL60

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.

It may be my dodgy eyesight but we also appear to be running a lot of camber on the front wheels?
Looking at it more, it could just be the deformation of the tyres.

Is the flap (Green Circle) connected to the diffuser ? Is it legal ?

It's a trick of the light - they are not connected

Has been a misleading purely optical feature that has been noted since pre-season in 2022. It's fooled many of us :)

Looking into the diffuser though, i think you can see a metal skid block/flow conditioner, similar to rb ?

Whoever spotted it (looks like the post is gone), good eye. That might be a skate in that photo, above the jack. McLaren have a unique edge wing (visible on the previous page), it passes under the floor. It might be a wing-skate hybrid.

Is it not a physical aspect of the car? As far as I can tell that's a physical aspect
