Here we are, another little nugget.
Id mentioned s few times now that I think the shrinking of the cooling exits on the car are significant, that they've done something very nice internally.
“But there was one other notable thing from their car. The cooling vents on their car are so small compared to everybody else, if you compare it to the Red Bull, the Mercedes, the Ferrari.
“Everyone has these big chunky vents trying to get heat out of the engine. McLaren’s is much smaller.
“We asked him about this and he said, ‘Yeah, this is a factor as to why our car is so quick in the heat’. Everyone’s looked at the tyres and brakes and how they’re cooling things down, but he said, ‘This is an under-respected area where we’ve gained pace over last year’.
“It’s a 100% new cooling system for this year. They’ve made gains. And this could explain why, on very, very hot days, that McLaren looks so fast.
