You are ignoring a lot of things. :lol:

But even ignoring those there is a reaction on the body work, especially the renault and Mclaren KERS cooling ducts.
The force on the heat exchanger counters this slightly but not totally.
For Sure!!

yep, this one.

Now the yellow section over the a arms is interesting. It has an aerodynamic shape to it.

Is it the KERS (battery pack) cooling?

Is the yellow a flow indication or body part?

Guys, that's easy: No downward nett accelearation of mass(flow), no lift.

Not on the RBR but take a look at the ones on the Renault.
