McLaren MCL32 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 was looking at Amus's pics and the wheelbase looks very short. Really extenuates the rake.

Now it sounds like it could have some power inside!! [-o<

This sound plus the insane rake, at least two interesting aspects before the real test.

That's just where the sidepod meets the cockpit, there's no tunnel there.

Few consecutive laps + not on full speed equates in not needing to utilize all the cooling available

Had a chat with Matt Morris. He seems pretty happy down at McLaren so far. A few mapping gremlins to work on with the new Honda engine, but no major dramas. The plan is very much to work on understanding the new car and tyres during testing, because they are so different this year, so significant chassis development is likely to wait for Melbourne, for once the team has a better view of the lie of the land.
