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.

Any guess what the "experimental 2016 parts" would be?

Looks like reflections from the Mirror Mounts. Couldn't see anything in the other Pictures.
But it seems the experimental Setups seem to include more Rake. Especially in FP1 i noticed FA making Sparks all over the Track. And from the Pictures it seems they added a little more to their already quite big Rake.

Supposedly this;

experimental setups: (ride height and rake) and parts (front suspension as SkySports confirmed) bring McLarens at almost identical setups to RedBulls in running maximum rake and lowering front wing to the ground.

EDIT;

Speed trap Russia

Kimi-343.1 kph , next best was Massa 333.6 kph. The best Mclaren Honda was 310.5 kph.

Looks like they had flow-vise on the underneath of the noses of both cars.

Can we please keep the Honda and 2016 talk out of this Thread? It's cluttered enough with the PU talk being in the Honda and the Team Thread. No need for a third one.

Reopened. If your post got moved, it's either in the Honda Power Unit topic or in the Mclaren Honda 2015 topic, depending on what you were discussing.

I noticed that during race weekends, the discussions really stick to the hardware of the car (without the PU), while it usually dwells off afterwards. Let's try to keep the topic a bit more clean and structured.

Looks like the weather right now is pointing to rain all day Friday and Saturday and Sunday. With Rain Sunday dropping down to 40% chance of showers at the start of the race down to 20% at the end.
