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.

These are just the interchangeable cooling Gills next to the Headrests. Doesn't look new.

It doesn't matter whats being designed. Its the design philosiphy, understanding and process that matters.
Honda has adopted a trial and error philosophy to their designs these days. Nothing beats that if you have the right funding and are prepared to break a few things.

I have faith they will challenge the top engines by the end of next year if not 2017.

If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

They just love to make new Engine Covers. ^^

Interesting they have the Monkey Seat mounted on one Car. Is this the First Time on a race Weekend this Year? I only remember seeing it at the Tests. Exhaust position is different too with the MS.
