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.
I’m struggling to put together photos to illustrate my point, but it looks to me like Mclaren is running different sidepods than they were in the shakedown. They had channels going down in the shakedown, and they looked much flatter today. Any theories? Maybe checking correlation?
Did we see that new bottom that McLaren was hiding from everyone? In the photos from the tests, I did not see anything new and supernatural, rather an evolution of last year's decisions.
