Why McLaren doesn't test 2017 Pirelli Tires:

"In the end you have to balance the costs and the distraction for your resources," McLaren racing director Eric Boullier explained. "Where we are now obviously, we believe it was better not to get distracted by doing a new car and [Pirelli] testing."

"There is some learning to do the testing, but most of the data is shared to the non-testing teams and I think that, today, we are not where we want to be so we'd be better focused on making our car faster."


To be honest it does make sense. That is if there are no mayor downsides to not test the Tires, which brings us to the next Article:

a) It doesn't make sense, no
b) This should be in the team's thread, not here

No, there is a few cm between them, but because of the angle of the shot it does look that way

Correct, the Steering Arm is right in Front of the upper Wishbone.

It seems so.

This picture was taken during the last GP free practice.

Not a chance against Force India at singapore, you know Force India is a TRACTION BEAST around Street tracks right?? and singapore commands a premium on traction moreover than aero.....
