interesting that mclaren has gone the opposite route with their inboard suspension linkages...from front to rear with push-rod and pull-rod to 2022's front to rear pull-rod and push-rod.
its rear push-rod may be attributed to that raised side pod exit where that designs ask for a narrow section below the side pod exit and above the diffuser so they could bring more air towards the lower rear double wing element. the push-rod could mean that the mcl36's rear suspension components are not as low as possible unlike the pull rods before it where the suspension components is around the lower section of the gearbox, increasing the dimensions of that section. with the suspension components raised, the entire lower section's dimension can be at its most minimal, devoid of any rear suspension components and made to improve airflow instead
they moved the whole set up to work the winglet above the diffuser..maybe also targeted at scavenging the rear diffuser even more. whats clever about the set up is how they utilize space by targeting the side pod exit towards that open section below the main rear wing and above the wings below it
the raised section also flow well from the halo rearwards
