McLaren have chosen some interesting design routes on their new competitor. In addition to our own technical analysis, McLaren's Tim Goss and Paddy Lowe explain why some decisions have been made in light of the regulation changes.

I believe what you are seeing is a recessed area under the central splitter/tea tray designed to produce a low pressure area, thus add'l downforce. Not a big contributor by itself, but the positioning is as optimal as you can get so why not go for it?tok-tokkie wrote:To me it looks like there is a duct through the front of the floorboard taking air from behind the splitter to under the board right behind the start of the board. I thought it had to be flat with just the FIA specified round holes where they check the thickness.

It may have something to do with possible defective construction. Look at the photos of the end plates. The carbon fibre has delaminated very very badly. It looks as if the layers did not bond to each other. I have never come across such delamination before, and Mclaren should have serious concerns about their lay-up process.thestig84 wrote:According to BBCs Mr popular Mclaren wont be running new rear wing

Hearing that McLaren won't be running their new rear wing
Seems odd to go to massive hassle and fly one out for LH then with no running since Friday they decide they dont want to run it.
