McLaren MCL38 speculation.

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.

You are not alone 😁. I did the same thing for a while. One thing for sure, a very low centerline cooling with probably no shark fin.

Here's the @McLarenF1 MCL38. Stella: "There are numerous innovations on the car, but not in all areas have been completed for our launch specification. These areas will become the focus of our seasonal development, which is already underway." #FORMU1A #F1

Well, this is quite mild. Not much has changed. Seems like a smaller inlet more akin to the 2018 Ferrari, but that's about it.

Based on that Stella quote, they're not quite where they were hoping to be at launch in terms of development.

Be interesting if this results in another poor start to the season.

The most deflating car launch from Mclaren!

Yeah, I am struggling to find the difference. If they hit the track today hopefully there's more pictures for comparison. But at the moment there isn't much to discuss

Looking at cross comparisons, there are some subtle differences to the MCL60 possibly. I think this might be their 2024 car, which looks very similar I admit to last season's car.

The rear wing appears to be slightly revised too.
