Thats a common thing for rain setup to avoid aquaplaning.

I would guess to take the "push" out... from the rain. I wonder how much raise and lower adjustment they have at their disposal? That looks like an inch if not more over normal.

It seems like the halo is disguising the size of the car. That McLaren would look even smaller without the halo.

Do we know if they kept the same body work (engine cover) for today as well? Because also Alonso's car today had the same "burn marks" and actually on both sides (on one side it's pretty dim tho).

Very likely they did, no need to change anything that isn't broken and it is there from the first lap out.

A trailing edge flap on the engine cover?

It's not on all pictures of today.

Regarding the holes in the floor either side of the sidepods. Could they have a raised section so that when you look from underneath there isn't a hole, but such that it channels air through the slots?

My laptop has died otherwise I would try and make a diagram to show what I mean.

Surely they are not holes and rather slots as you said. In a top down view we wouldnt be able to see the ground, or the light passing as some pointed out.
Although this is the mother of slots!

Heres that top-down view. The slots are very obvious in this view but I see what you're saying adrianjordan. Maybe when you center the camera over the car you can see the slots but when you center the camera over the slots they are covered. Like, they have a sort of scoop on the top side that'll grab the air and force it downwards while looking like a solid, continuous piece from directly above and below

I once posted the question as to wether how these slots in the floor are legal. There are no small cuts which would make the contour one homogenous line. So how it is legal?
