The new exhausts have not been thoroughly track tested and McLaren probably cut those slits in the bulge fairings in order to minimise the possibility of overheating and catastrophic failure.
i would say they are there to channel the exhaust flow to a pointy plasma beam
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

It isn't transparent. That pic was taken from a lucky angle with the reflections in the right way to make it look that way.

It is transparent, so what? I'm pretty sure it won't have an aero advantage unless it's a hologram ... #-o :mrgreen:

Not to belittle anyone, but is this transparency thing a joke?

The paint is shiny, and it reflects the inside of the wing's endplate, which are identical on both sides.

Or maybe the word "mirror" is somehow getting lost in translation.
