McLaren MP4-29 Mercedes

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

That has to be the first picture you've posted without your watermark all over it. Unlucky mate.

That is noble of you, but to be honest also naive. And the fact that they took that image is implicating something much worse, that is omnicorse ripping off ideas here without proper credit to the original poster.

Jep, i expect a lot of aerodynamical measuring Devices for tomorrow. The "Shakedown" today seemed pretty legit.

Kevin Magnussen spoke on his twitter page that they had an "interrupted start" but after that, they were able to do some long runs. What kind of problems did mp4-29 had today? I don't think that burning the rear crash structure was the problem. Whad did you heard?

I think he meant there were red flags so they have interrupted stint.

The car has some sort of 60's flavor on this picture :)

Also the "technical explaination" is incomplete (wrong?): they say the nolders are for downforce, and overlook the function of increasing cooling with the low pressure behind them
