whats with the two 'antennas' on the front wing (near bridgestone)?

Are the exhausts new as well? much flatter? or may just be the photo angle or at they were at germany lol

they are the supports for the cascade wing element that is mounted (or not in this case) the endplate

[astracrazy]

Sorry if im being stupid! so why have they just left the supports there?

Is there any other updates to anyones knowledge

they haven't, they've added the missing section later on

McLaren seem to be on a charge to make this a closed wheel format?

[arporter]

First Win for KERS car, and it played a reasonable role. still dead for next year?

an extra 80Hp will make any turd faster in a straight line!

I still dont like the concept, it was a pathetic & expensive attempt to green-wash F1!

well as it stands today RBR look like fools to not have taken the 80 hp bump which costs you no fuel(weight)

I'm sure Webber is wishing he had one of those cool do-dads on his car right about now... boo hoo for him.

With next years refueling ban and higher min weight I think KERS will be more inviting than this year.

[Vasco]

It was expensive and the fact that Mclaren and Ferrari basically sacrificed the development of the car's aero and chassis for KERS basically ruled them out of this years championship. Almost everyone was laughing at them because from the first few races because it was evident that the extra weight from KERS was more of a disadvantage.

Now that they have developed their chassis and aero, everyone starts whining. This is quite a technological achievement and I think that both Macca and Ferrari have done an awesome job to stick with KERS.

You've got to take your hat off to McLaren, coming back from 2+secs down to be in contention to win, admittedly at slower tracks, is amazing.

By taking some hurt for a few races and not throwing bits on the car at random they have taken a giant step forward over where they were at the start of the season.

[ringo]

Yep and i don't think the KERS has an unfair advantage either, it has only made the races more balanced now. Ferrari and Mclaren still have to deal with the extra weight and cooling issues, they just made the Car complementary to the KERS.
I beleive the next race may be much more difficult with it since the track may not be wide enough to take advantage of the boost when trying to pass.
It will help alot in qualifying in the high speed sections.

Is this the first time Mclaren have had a 2 face car. One that is scorned and glorified at the same time.
This car will definitely be remembered for its ups and downs.
