McLaren have gone through a difficult season, but a proper look at their new MP4-31 suggest they have put in considerable effort to come back from that swiftly.
How can you say that looks like a thermal camera? What does a thermal camera look like? And why would you point it to the gap between the floor and the tire?atlantis wrote:Looks like a thermal cameraLucky wrote:https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CcnAIKEWAAEVLxf.jpg
Totally different concept and serve a different purpose.Redragon wrote:It is curious that the front floor strakes adopted by Mercedes are on the Mp4-x concept but Mclaren haven't adopted yet

A direct comparison with the previous year's model shows minor modifications to the mirror mounts and the rear wing endplate.
Sir Mix A Lot would deffinitelly approve all this exhuberance at the bottom. I also noticed the similarities between Newey and Promodous's asses. They seem to prioritize undercut and flow directly over the diffuser.Jef Patat wrote:For those interested in fat and not fat asses: I've made a comparisson here: asses
What strikes me most is the resemblance to RB. Quite big but also quite high from the floor. RB is also a car with a big undercut.
I'm quite sure it has nothing to do with Heat because strikingly that "Thing" covers the IR Tire Temp Sensor.Jef Patat wrote: How can you say that looks like a thermal camera? What does a thermal camera look like? And why would you point it to the gap between the floor and the tire?
So i think it's a high Speed Camera to monitor exactly how the Tire deforms.

I wondered the same. It looks detached to me. Granted I'm no expert.atlantis wrote:Actually that flow-viz job makes a wonderful livery!
Is the flow pattern on the upper front wishbone ok?
Is it me or they are testing a new front suspension set up in that picture?Jef Patat wrote:Diffuser measurements. Are they using the new floor yet?
