Mclaren MP4-30 Honda

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.

I expect no difference because of that, did I suggest something like that? As far as I know there have been no problems reported because of that. :lol:

I just mentioned it, some people care, some don't, and to erase your doubt, I don't. No need to get wound up because of that...

Agreed silverstone will unleash the "push-down-the-tires-to-earth" downforce of the McHonda and will check on the size zero body of her!!! :)

Also in the Article Linked aboveit is stated that only Alonso will get the Updated Package. Only one is ready and it is FA's Turn. (Button got the Updated Diffusor a few races back right? )



Edit: they did slim down the Spine Cooler at some time between the Spain Test and Austria. It is shorter. Never noticed it before.

Looks like we might see a bit more undercut in the middle of the sidepods going by the internals.

Seems like we won't see the new Aero Package today: :cry: :cry:

"Alongside a new short nose, which passed the FIA mandatory crash test earlier this month, there will be sweeping aero updates across the car, including a new front and rear wing.

The new package is expected to arrive on Thursday evening and be fitted in time for first practice on Friday."

It looks like there is an upper smaller cooler that they haven't installed yet when comparing the two pictures.
Honda!
