Vodafone McLaren MP4-27 Mercedes

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

this would probably take the CoG much higher up...so i dont think it would work for that simple reason..

The back looks completely different indeed, the front looks the same however.

Old one for reference: http://www.formula1.com/wi/sutton/2012/d12gbr263.jpg

In that case, onto simulating some RBR style sidepods with tunnel, then simulate some new mclaren style sidepods when we get to see them fully,

Will publish upside down L pods for comparison aswell :D

EDIT:
will show some images after sunday's race

for the drawing,

I think you cant easily just turn it upside down. If you do, you have to reconsider all the parts at the front and behind the sidepod.
