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.

not sure if this is a low df confiq, or the changes are made to nurse the flow to the front brake calipers or the flow to the rear. Seems with this version, they have a higher aoa on the inside upper element while more flat in the central part upper element ?
Or maybe the impression of the higher aoa is because of the cutout in the middle

Any pics of the rest of this FW? I'm not so sure it is of a McLaren front wing because in all the pics I've seen of them, none have the harp angle cut front straight leading edge into vortex tunnel. On all the pics of the McLaren wings it looks like the leading edge of their front wing goes at an upward angle before curling over to start the tunnel.

There is a new variation on the front wing as well.

The diffuser is new, that's for sure. Less and smaller turning vanes while it looks like the vortex generators at the end of the plank have gotten bigger. It actually looks very similar to the RedBull diffuser now.

Something interesting that I have constantly seen McLaren make changes to this year is the slots in the T-tray. Any pics of the T-tray from the last race?

Looking at the Sponsor logo on the Endplate the Close Up above should be from the Williams FW.

Can well be your opinion, but in my opinion that's not the current package
