Wouldn't be surprised, this is definitely a testing floor, a lot of it is held together with screws, and seems to be quite modular. Not just McLaren but Mercedes as well, they can swap in cooling gills engine covers, parts of the floor near the rear tires, part of the barge boards by the sidepod inlet and various other places.mikhak wrote:The diffuser looks very similar to last year. I wonder is this a "first day" floor. It looks very simple. No flick ups along the forward floor like most teams and no slots on the rear floor either. I can't imagine this will be the configuration for long.matt_s wrote:Anyone seen anything on the diffuser yet that McLaren may have been trying to hide at the launch? Nothing looks out of the ordinary from the picture so far.
Wonder if it is this serious ??It’s worry to see Honda say that there are concerns about its oil tank based on what happened yesterday. To discover an oil tank shape is potentially incorrect suggests something is seriously wrong as normally it only shows up as a pickup problem in fast corners. To discover it on an installation lap at lower speeds suggests it’s a fundamental problem. The oil tank is vital to the engine and something most teams have a very good understanding of and very good test rigs to simulate all the forces and flows. So for McLaren and Honda to come to the first test session with a potential problem is a concern. It seems they are still missing out on the basics.

Top flap of FW looks "flatter. Is it new profile ??
I'd say that's almost certainly under braking.k.ko100v wrote:Speaking of rakes
