Haven't they changed the angle since that photo, I'm sure I've seen a skinnier wingzioture wrote: ↑01 Sep 2018, 11:43https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dl_xMXnXcAAtFEo.jpg
I don't understand why McLaren has so much wing
Yesterday Alonso said They were testing Singapore spec and they were very slow like mobile chicanes...zioture wrote: ↑01 Sep 2018, 11:43https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dl_xMXnXcAAtFEo.jpg

Let's hope for an improvement in Singapore. It's tracks like that which they need to capitalise on.Rudex wrote: ↑01 Sep 2018, 13:16Yesterday Alonso said They were testing Singapore spec and they were very slow like mobile chicanes...zioture wrote: ↑01 Sep 2018, 11:43https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dl_xMXnXcAAtFEo.jpg

Thats why You saw this higher DF rear wing. I believe They tested new floor too.
Unfortunately it isn't because they have great foresight that they are testing everything trackside, it is because the wind tunnel results don't reflect what is happening on the track. They are in fact sacrificing race weekend work to correlate future updates and settings.charliesmithhd wrote: ↑01 Sep 2018, 13:18Let's hope for an improvement in Singapore.

Depends what you consider big. There isn't going to be a 0.5 sec upgrade but there was a substantial one in Hungary two races ago. New front wing, floor and diffuser etc.charliesmithhd wrote: ↑02 Sep 2018, 01:02Are there any big upgrade packages planned for the rest of the season?
Yes, with Magnussen tow xDD.charliesmithhd wrote: ↑02 Sep 2018, 08:55Alonso fastest in speed trap during quali (346kph) vs vandoorne 17th (333kph)
