Mclaren MP4-30 Honda

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.

Speaking of which, if the rumors are true will we see a short nose on the McLaren in a few days?

Peter Prodromou was heard to be very disturbed, when he saw Mark Webber giving a taxi ride to Fernando, where Fernando had to struggle and sit near the driver. It had the tendency to damage the driver cocoon and this time he has decided to provide more space for such rides. :D

Aah so he decided to provide those little vanes on top of the radiator inlet to help cradle the passenger's man bits?

I don't think so if they wanted to McLaren could have a nose like the others they have deliberately gone for a long flat nose.

Interested that James Key described the Launch Toro Rosse nose, which was flat and long, as Aero-neutral.... Could this be a compromise for Mclaren and Ferrari now?

The Side pods looks different - right one looks bigger towards the rear - from the picture above, or is it optical illusion again ??

My bet would be the illusion. Pay attention that there is a quite big 'standing up part' of the sidepod in the middle, which you see completely for the one on the right in the pic, but not for the left one, similar for the downward curves at the outer edge.

Uhm. It's a top-down picture showing where the sidepod covers go on the car, thus helping one-o-6's suggestion that the side pod cover looks big due to the angle of the picture.

Is that a lighter grey, or is it just the lighting?
