McLaren MCL38

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.

Both Monaco and Zandvoort wings have been brought, interesting. Zandvoort wing is more efficient, but definitely isn't loaded as much as Monaco spec
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

They did the same last year and used the less loaded wing. A contributing factor is likely to be the removal of 4 corners that were replaced by a straight.

McLaren asked by FIA to modify rear wing after 'mini-DRS' controversy.

Much bigger beam wing than what was used in Zandvoort, about as big as launch spec beam of SF 24

They have done a really good job with the suspension of this car. Probably alongside Ferrari, they're the only ones that can be aggressive with the kerbs.
