These comparisons are never quite accurate. Even very minor angle or distance differences can be notable when we're trying to measure small detail differences like this.
Mclaren said they chose a shorter wheelbase to reduce weight. Source is somewhere in the MCL-40 tech thread.

I’m glad Newey is able to attend this weekend. He’ll be able to watch first hand the cars revving their nuts off whilst going around the Loews hairpin to charge the battery- like he suggested they may have to many years ago :wtf:
Just a fan's point of view*

*statement was relevant when the forum had a high level of intelligence. Now we are just equals.

I don't think that will be necessary this year since he probably didn't account for the K power cuts they have done for this track. This track will be completely oversaturated on the K. Effectively driving full time with around 700kW (ice + k).

Not denying Mclaren might well be on the shorter side. But shortest is not something we can declare for certain here.

Also been pretty open that I dont think Ferrari should be considered defacto favorites.
