It was probably cheaper than asking their radiator manufacturer to build messed up radiators.

FRONT WING - MALAYSIA

Similar to Australia

FRONT WING BAHRAIN

FRONT WING SPAIN

Looks like a few tweaks to me.

There are not any tweaks , just a slightly different photo angle taken which gives you a wrong imression

Some of them are quite evident.
#1 and #2 in particular.



1. The endplate has deep cut on the lower pic unlike the one above.
2. I 'hyperbolized' the difference in shapes (in cyan). Also have a look at the placement of gurneys in that area.
3. Curvature of the leading edge (near the endplate).

There's one other difference - the lower fin on the outside of the endplate has a flat extension on it, in front of the tyre, just above and to the left of your big green number 3.

Is it possible to post a better picture to make this difference clearer

CHASSIS FIN


Mc Laren also features a triangular fin on the chassis since Australia
( the bargeboards hide the fin ) .

My drawing abilities are not the best but it should show you what I was trying to point out.

Oh bugger it! It's the edge of the fin extending back, the perspective change makes it look different. I feel stupid now...
