McLaren MCL35M

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.

Odd how a pair of stacked nose cones is normally the first picture of the weekend. :D

Check the rear brake duct winglets too, they were making some. Don't know if new or replacements for Riccardo's damage but I don't think it went that far forwards.

If you look at the Turquoise Blue sections next to actual floor our's is wider & thus floor smaller / narrower...

I think it's just different design philosophies. The rules specify a line beyond which nothing may protrude. McLaren just stayed on the line, apparently, where other teams saw more benefit by introducing a cutout section. So they're not directly comparable, I feel. More than just the width of the floor, you have to look at the aero impact of what is actually there.
