I'm afraid not. Such is the pace of development they could lose the equivalent in points through a DNF in the next couple of races if they don't keep up.wesley123 wrote:They rather be fourth than DNF, so it is doubtful they would run it in the race
Nope. I don't think even Red Bull is doing that fully yet. The exhaust gases are too unpredictable to blow directly. Newey tried it at McLaren several years ago but it had to be abandoned.n smikle wrote:I wonder if Mclaren has routed the exhaust into the diffuser itself instead of just blowing over the top of it?

Renault, Mercedes and Ferrari all were able to use it on their first try. And Mclaren have had even more time to work on it.
Well i dont know if you ever seen it but the mclarens is alot tighter then the ferrari and probabl also then the red bull.Pierce89 wrote:If by slick, you mean: fat and cluttered, then I agree.

Because modelling exhaust gases and working out what to do with them is hideously complex. You can't just throw it in a wind tunnel and test it either. It needs a lot of careful thought and planning. Packaging has a lot do do with as well though because you need unimpeded airflow, as I said months ago on this thread. The McLaren rear just isn't the best to do that with.Holm86 wrote:Why is this so difficult for mclaren to get this EBD to work?? they are not running it today or tomorow in the race.
The Ferrari and Renault are packaged tighter. Mclaren's car is extremely bulbous and cluttered at the rear, compared to the F10. Seems like Mclarens "ultra fast development rate" got overtaken by the Ferrari boys.wesley123 wrote:those cars arent as tight packaged as te mclarenHolm86 wrote:Why is this so difficult for mclaren to get this EBD to work?? they are not running it today or tomorow in the race.

I was in Canada. I saw every car. The Macca rear end is not tighter than the Redwesley123 wrote:those cars arent as tight packaged as te mclarenHolm86 wrote:Why is this so difficult for mclaren to get this EBD to work?? they are not running it today or tomorow in the race.

I know it doenst look great, but it is tighter then others
Macca has VERY bulbous central section, almost as wide as their rear wing. No other car has that.wesley123 wrote:it is what you call tighter, the mclarens is much more downsloaping and nearly hits the floor when it ends, the red bull doesnt do that and seems to combine both, large coke bottle shape and downsloaping with also much longer sidepods extending to the DDD
