Mclaren Mercedes MP4-25

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.

can someone explain if we have limited wind tunnel time last season most teams (brawn, ferrari, a bit of redbull etc) devoted a lot of time end of the season to 2010, Mclaren seem to be churning out parts all the time and i am sure they must of invested a lot of time on 2009 in the wind tunnel which may hurt 2010 car design and wind tunnel time????

This topic was discussed ad infinitum already. Fact is with supposedly little aero difference between '09 and '10 there can be advantages/disadvantages with both approaches. We'd now for sure when cars hit the track, let's be patient.

Good clip, I see...That is why the 09 car sucked at the beginning. Hamilton had little input during 2008!! ...hmmm.. but since he is doing more input now, the MP4-25 is supposed to be unstoppable!!

Well his input is clearly useful but it was mainly the engineers at the MTC who were misled by the calculations of their simulation tools what led to an incompetitive 24. Hopefully the 25 will set the record straight.
