McLaren MCL34

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.

What is this guy doing here? That looks like a probe of some sort

Compressed air blow gun, likely doing some cooling to the internals/rads.
It doesnt seem attached to a hose.

Likely hidden by the mechanics arm.

It might be a screwdriver.
It's a screwdriver, or some form of one.
No, not a screwdriver, a blow gun just as I said, likely blowing air through one of the small holes in the body work

It's got a trigger handle whatever it is, so I don't think it's a screwdriver.

thinking abut the racecar article about the flaws of the mcl33, roberts mention, not as a flaw!, but mention they are still using mech suspension, do you think its one of mclarens key weakness, i quess the top teams all runs hydraulic? maybe thats the reason for their better aero performance

Renault (who uses remote hydraulic susp) implies some teams use air springs...

looked so much more simple last year, but as long it works, just surprised with all the cooling moved up, that they are not able to shrink cooling in sidepods
