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.

Any rumours about a new nose?
We only know that it is possible that not all the parts for the first race will be on the car here in Bahrain, for the final two days. Yesterday they put the new FW on the car. It's a very complex and detailed FW, I think the most detailed that we saw on a Mclaren in last years.

Check the FW here: http://www.omnicorse.it/magazine/35231/ ... -da-carico

We haven't heard anything about the new nose since January 2014, when it was said Mclaren were already working on a new nose, an evolution of the current nose, but that will bring more performance.

Check here the article: http://www.omnicorse.it/magazine/34118/ ... tazionale-

what is white thing inside the car ? are it is ceramic fiber (insulation material)
im pretty sure it just a reflection.....
I do not think so; I think it is a bodywork panel, maybe coated with Zircotech
i think its a cover , thermal cover maybe.....from the green arrow, could be on top of the g-box casing, it doesnt appear on vjm07

Any infos about Mp4-29 updates until now? Did someone see the mechanics putting new bites on the car. Ferrari is already doing so.

That front wing does not look new to me, apart from the curved bit on the outer edge of the endplate. What else is different from the old one?

How is mp4-29 behaving compared with W05 from this observations: ""The McLaren was chasing the Mercedes, and Magnussen seemed to have the esses under control now. However, Rosberg was edging away."

Is there any possibility that Mclaren are trying to hide something at the back of their car with that suspension? Is that a very stupid question?

I think it's about time to realize that McLaren didn't build a phenomenal car just because of their unique suspension. Just my personal opinion, sorry for the OT.

We Still have Tomorrow.

We still don't have good Pictures of that new Front Wing they were said to drive yesterday. The one in the Picture above doesn't look any different than what they ran before.

There is no new front wing, just that little winglet on the endplate.
