Mclaren MP4-30 Honda

So according to AMuS rumour is that the new nose was tested with a new "lightweight" chassis that's supposed to be used in silverstone and the dispute was whether the old heavier chassis currently used in austria would pass the crash tests with the new nose as well.

No pics of any other part of the car other than the nose? Haven't seen any of clear ones of the front wing in its entirety or anything of the rest of the car (except for one grainy pic that just shows the general side)

I was saying in the race thread, the pictures in austria have been few and far between. I was wondering if there was some kind of embargo? or perhaps the photographers overslept?

Well it's just a copy of the williams nose really, which is just the minimum required to fit in to the legality boxes.

I really wish they would change that rule to just have a single width mandated at the front. No idea why the rules need to stipulate two widths. Who cares if the noses are really wide?

In other news, this is Jenson's reaction to the lap times after the new upgrades:-

It seems the only big change that can be easily seen is the Nose. EB says all other new parts are on - except Side Pods.

Amus:
The new nose gives the MP4-30 a different face. "It's a new car," confirms Boullier. "The only thing we have not changed, the side pods." He is one of the parts that are new:.. Front wing, rear wing and underbody diffuser, baffles, engine cover "In Silverstone we continue Then come also new . leg and lighter chassis to that his premiere of retreaded McLaren because of the change to fifth motor from the last row of the grid, according Boullier is not the end

There are indeed some changes to the FW. The Adjusters and the lower Flap seem different in the first quick look. Sadly there seem to be not much Pictures from the new Floor, Diffuser, RW, Engine Cover and Deflectors.

Silverstone should bring a lightweight Chassis and new Mirrors.

Here is a nice picture of the new Front & Old Wing from the side:

The edges of Wing Flaps seems different to me - especially the middle one (they look higher/ bigger).

The car looks better on a whole to me with the new nose. Looks more aggressive.
For Sure!!
