Mclaren Mercedes MP4-25

Wow, looks like a big update!!! The last time they did that, it took a while until they unlocked the car potential. Well, not really unlock bit rather understand how to set up the car. Let see what will happen this time.

I looked but couldnt get info on this


What is it???

What is it???

I believe that's testing apparel. I'd expect to see some flo-vis and pitot arrays tomorrow.

I think the only major change is the front wing. The rear wing is an update of their Monaco/Hungary wing, and the exhaust and diffuser are just tweaked a bit. Of course, it does all add up.

Seems like the new front wing with those funky cascades is there mainly to help the brake cooling out. It is a track that's harsh on the brakes so it would make sense.

Simpler diffuser, well it would seem practical too seeing as the bottom of the car takes a pounding on this track especially. We saw some bits flying off Senna's car when he bottomed out in a bad way.


Seems like some very track specific upgrades

I would imagine if they are really going all out to win this championship we might see track specific upgrades at all the last races, atleast while there is a really good chance at winning the championship.

Non of the McLarens ran the new front wing in first practice. Perhaps because they didnt need the extra brake cooling because of the wet conditions??

Or are the just making a benchmark test with the normal wing before fitting the new one?

you missed the last minutes.When both McLaren enetered the pits after FP1 both carried the new front wing!

From Mr Parker's pics, the front snorkel seems quite pronounced. Can anyone confirm that?

Pitot rake on the sidepod's turning vane. Measuring tyre's wake with new front wing.

Yeah you are right didnt see the last minutes ... didnt know they ran the wing in the final minutes.

Just watching FP2 and there was a shoot from the front wing camera of one of the McLarens were you could hear the retarded ignition extremly well....

im not sure about jenson, but lewis ran the old front wing at the end of second practice.

[marcush.]

absolutely sure that Button came in with the NEW Wing after FP1 ,Hamilton was only to be seen in the background but it looked like the new one as well to me...be a bit mellow with an ol man.

The attention to detail on these latest updates are quite "beautiful" from an engineering standpoint, but unfortunately as we know in F1- beauty doesn't always equal superior pace and podiums.. Just saying..
