I mentionedin the March Testing Thread that I reckon Mclaren's reliability issues could be related to using KERS for the first time (or pushing the limit with it for the first time). This small cooling vent u spotted could be some evidence towards that theory. (That they're using KERS more, not that it's related to unreliability)
I was under the impression that they had been running it on long stints for a while and hadn't had any issues. My guess would be that they're trying some new smaller / lighter weight components with their KERS solution in preparation for the first race, now they're happy with the overall system.
But that vent is new - perhaps just testing it for if it's required on a really hot day?
And that front wing is seriously cool.
