I think he has decided that openness in many of these areas doesn't really allow the competition any advantage. After all, it's one thing to hear X has achieved more than their simulations predicted, and another thing to be able to deduce what they did to achieve the same and what direction they are going. It's an incredibly exciting time to be with McLaren (or Ferrari) but I suspect the orange ship is sailing a little more steadily and safely than the red one. A new driver lineup with a former champion having to blend with a fast and ambitious teammate who's established is just one challenge they will have. I think it will be a lot nigglier than the present pair. Our guys seem to have good manners, I know, you put the sniff of wins and championships on the menu and that can all change.

Even Mclaren themselves seem unsure of exactly why they've improved so much, so ascertaining that you have figured everything out by looking at a picture and a bit of footage is a little much man.LionsHeart wrote: ↑01 Jun 2024, 20:33
Look for photos of previous specifications and compare with the latest iteration. No CFD knowledge is required here. Knowledge of geometry is enough.
Shame on McLaren, they shouldn’t spend Millions in Aerodynamicists, Engineers, CFD tools, Wind Tunnel, etc… It was never about Fluid Dynamics, it was all about finding someone that could look at flows, pressure gradients and suspension dynamics from a picture.
He's got a truckers suntan!
So that's how it works!
And I was wondering why nothing works for me.
I won't let it happen again! Papaya it is LOL.MTudor wrote: ↑07 Jun 2024, 12:50BMMR61 wrote: ↑01 Jun 2024, 09:02Yeah, and he isn't the sort of run-off-at-the-mouth guy like Horner or Wolf.

Ît's PAPAYA not Oorange!!!
If our fans don't make that diference how can we expect our rivals to do so.
The papaya colours is our identity and must not be confused with other colours!!!

It first appeared in 1968 on the M7A, the first Cosworth powered McLaren. At that time national colours were used a lot. McLaren as a New Zealand team weren't leaned towards NZ's black national colour, they wanted something that would stand out. A can of papaya paint was found in the old workshop and it stuck, diluted by Yardley in 1973, lost to red and white Texaco in 1974 when they won their first championship. Thanks Zak for bringing papaya back. There I got it in three times!
Anyway go papaya in Canada, the winningest team there with 13 wins.

Auch...that looks bad.
