some private video from the MP4/25 inside the Spa garages.
Nothing spectacular, but maybe some of you like it.

from what i have read McLaren have found a way to run this special engine map in the race, that is what you hearringo wrote:Any video with the car making that strange engine sound on braking?
During the races there was a moment where it could be heard clearly. I think it was 1 laps before Lewis pitted for intermediates, in turn 8, Rivage.
Unlike RB who apparently only run it in Q3. I bet the engineers at Renault are desperate to catch up Merc on that. Who's going to be first to suffer an engine failure?wesley123 wrote:from what i have read McLaren have found a way to run this special engine map in the race, that is what you hear

Yes, but isn't it sad that when Newey has produced a quick car, that McLaren, in a fit of pique, complain over and over again, to try and have any legal innovation nullified, so as to give them a chance. When they started the year with their "advantage feature", the f-duct, some teams queried it, but when told it was legal, the others went ahead and developed their own versions.Just_a_fan wrote:I think that, if the FIA's new floor test reduces the RB6's downforce (as it is likely to do) then McLaren must feel quietly confident for the rest of the season. The RB6 has downforce because of some clever work by Newey's team. If the FIA remove much of that downforce then the RB6's inherent lack of top speed is going to hamper it everywhere because they'll need to either crank on more wing (and drag) to get back the cornering advantage (and lose even more top-end speed) or be no quicker in the corners and just as quick (or even slightly slower) on the straights.
