Your right but they are based on the same theory. Interesting.Confused_Andy wrote:They are actually different endplates, there is i think 1 less hole and they are bigger holes at that than last years.
That domed cover was there last season.outer_bongolia wrote:Nice shot Stig... It looks like they have at least the room to move the "snorkel" to the right hand side as well... I wonder why the cover on the right side is kind of domed..
they do not have a big top access hole ,do they ? so how do you get to maintain pedals ? I doubt they have the rockers horizontally ,as how would you access the rocker .Still the snorkel inlet is interesting...maybe it helps in optimising flow thru the cockpit area instead of having a big dead zone there?thestig84 wrote:Your right but they are based on the same theory.

whats new with the engine cover?f1rules wrote:well it continues, lots of new pics on sutton, new engine cover, new diffuser, judging by the old rearwing endplates and new engine cover, it looks like mclaren might have pushed to far, and is going back to more conventional solutions. The engine cover is for sure not amazing
