McLaren MCL60

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.

That car looks like to have two main goals. As much air as possible to the coke bottle (over the sidepod), and through the floor entry. The mercedes exhaust area is a bit of a problem. They go in the Red Bull direction and it was obviously that this car will look how it looks now (it is called development not copy).

Looks like the floor edges are deliberately blurred at times in this video.
Do you agree? What does that mean?

Yeah it's been posted ad nauseam. Honestly looking at the unblurred photos we have it seems like a red herring/PR stunt

Why the car is not running that much (sorry if it is obvious it’s my first time watching testings )

Could be due to set-up changes to check correlation with simulations.
