McLaren MCL35

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.

Seidl is very happy.
The new parts the team has brought to the track have performed as expected, Seidl added. “As you have seen today we tried a new front wing for example in the morning. So far the car is doing what we expect from it so it’s great to see this correlation so I’m very happy.”

Did anyone see the new Vid uploaded by mclaren?, shows a really good top down shot of the car from the filming day. Rear end looks even tighter than in the renders.

Yes that roll-hoop design has James Key written all over it. It's reminiscent of the 2014to2018 Toro Rossos because of the big lower intake. I wonder how that "centerline cooling system" is packaged now. Is it an evolution of the 2019 system? https://external-preview.redd.it/B-WdZc ... 0d2b546402 or is it closer to the Renault layout, or to the STR/RBR layout?

Is it my imagination or "shadows" that creates those indents next to the 55 on the rear of the engine cover ??

i don't see anything that would create those shadows, compare the angle and the shadows of the camera pods for example. There indeed is a certain 'indent' next to the 55.

Sorry disagree. Its shadows for me. Nothing remotely similar on any other picture apart from one taken at a similar angle out on track.

To the left of where the "Dell" starts on the PU cover, generally varies depending on external temps. I presume it was cooler during the test days than you'd normally see during races during the year. It will be wider in Singapore when we get there.

Look at the wheels. Its a fish eye lens...the whole car is distorted so I wouldn't read much into that picture!

True, a lens like that would distort the edges of the frame.
