McLaren MCL60

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.

The tail end of the Sidepod (Orange) looks wider to me...

It looks the same to me, plus there is nothing in the documented car change submissions that describes anything different here.

The upper flap of the rear wing on the Lando car is cut off. On the Oscar car, this is not observed.

Better picture of the beam wing

I know this is circuit specific but that is a HUGE change. It's almost like someone suggested....

I think what should be highlighted in this picture is the fact that the tunnel ramp is much lower in this area.

The ugly bump in the bodywork is just because of the side impact structure and when they lowered the floor in this area, more of the SIS is exposed. If there was no SIS requirement, there would not be a bump here.
Would these bumps also help to produce outwash? Or is that not desirable?

The current execution is generating some outwash. Would they still have the "feature" without the SIS requirement? I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think so. Looking at other cars on the grid, most only raise the bump enough to cover the SIS, but no further even when the SIS only interferes minimally (check the RB)

With the season re-starting, a reminder for everyone that the car threads are moderated more strictly than other threads, with the idea that car threads should focus on the hardware and interpretation of how it works. And on the specific car in each car thread, please. We like our car threads shorter, focused and fact dense.

If a post is about the competition side of F1, be it faster/slower than, lap times or driver behavior, please, post it in the team threads instead (or even in the race thread!). Team threads are moderated very loosely, go wild in there. Future car parts, also in team threads, please, as they are by definition speculation, at least without an insider source.

Posts made in the car threads that are not focusing on the hardware are subject to be moved to other threads or, most likely, removed (as there are too many).
Rivals, not enemies.

No changes reported to the FIA this weekend, all the parts the same as Baku.
