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.

It has more screws I saw that, I was trying to work out if I could see other differences but I couldn't find any really good comparison pictures.

You can just about make out a change in the angles of the elements coming away from the nose too, it is a little more aggressive from those pictures but that could well be the angle. The wings look largely identical but a small change can make a big difference sometimes. It'd be interesting to see under the wing also.

No, less. The old nose has 10 screws and the new one just 4.

Yes less, and it maybe seem more flat like you mentioned, to help id new vs old. The new one has the chrome logo on one wing element, the old its divided on two elements

A lot of "tire splatter" on the rear wing endplate:

I think I haven't seen such kind of extensions over the top of the floor on any other car: loophole?

Good spot.
That’s getting into a barge board territory👀

It's not a new feature of the regs

Mercedes had it last year after Spain:
