McLaren MCL33

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.

A bit scary .....
but if you check where pit crew blowing air it's easily understandable that they know about it!
That's why the small inlets...
and it is freezing cold

Ok but take in account that density of air is also lower when freezing cold ..
A lot of parameters to take in account!
I loved the iconic McLaren-Honda
But most of all i love McLaren . After all first contact made with M23 that had a Ford Cosworth PU

Inlets or outlets ?? Bit difficult for sufficient air to go in there ??

You are right they are so small! Almost working in a fluidic type of air...

you need the testing thread forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=27067

this is the thread to discuss elements of the car. no team/testing/livery or panic talk allowed in here

Edit Thunder: deleted OT, kept good advice :D *easymodeon*

It well might be a cracked heat shield. Engine generates fuming exhausts, while the exterior air is freezing cold, such violent expanding and contracting can make damage.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

Air density increases as temperature decreases

They already showed it last year. I don't see why it would be a 'last minute part'.
The Halo last year was not the finished product, and IIRC it was a single element last time we saw it.

Is there perhaps a photo of front wing under side? Or at least a photo of it from the back?

And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Children, children....can you not see that this thread is a technical thread about the MCL 33? Talking about McLaren honda, or STR honda is of no relevance.
