Mclaren Mercedes MP4-25

[astracrazy]

i heard a new front wing for macca, not sure if just a rumor or someone just said it. Think i read it on here some pages back.

I think we will see some. who knows

App. macca had minor cooling issues (hence so many different cooling solutions tried) maybe we will see there final fix for it?

My person at the MTC has heard a new aero package, as suggested by many on here for next test.

Also another sighting of the more cylindrical engine cover/fin that they have seen quite a few times since mid last year now. Has no clues if it is part of a package that will end up on the car.

Also no mention of cooling problems. Generally seem cautiously pleased with the 25 so far.

FYI, slimjim has posted a fantastic analysis of the effectiveness of a blown wing here.

i will almost guarantee, no new frontwing, but im sure they will have minor bodywork updates like all others,

I doubt those comments about cooling. It was discussed a couple of pages ago. It was clearly planned development work, the relevant bodywork was all made in advance and you can see the joint lines for the various inlets on the launch model bodywork. Remember they do race in varying temperatures so need a range of tricks up their sleeves from the heat of Bahrain to rain of Silverstone or Spa.

o ok, sorry i didnt see the conclusion of why they were doing it

Don't be so immature...if he's not legit it will come out in the wash...no need for that.

Even when its their second post!?

As I have said in a few posts earlier on here I do know someone very well. They are at the MTC but not in the hub of the action so I am just sharing the snippets of info they hear maybe hearing people talk in the cafe or just what they have seen on the cars when walking past the bays. Its nothing mega ground breaking...if it is I would keep it to myself as I dont want to get them in trouble.

They have been good to me lugging back lots of gubbins from the Christmas staff sale Rocket red hugo boss £5...yes please!

Saw someone I know from Maca at Hewlands in Woking about two weeks ago.
Probably nothing to do with the car but......

I saw some of the guys from Red Bull in maplins the other day. I can only assume this means RBR are going for a novel approach of having electronics in their car.

More measurements from Macca, this time on the rearwing:
