I posted this a week back. They can't just change parts at will, all of the aero parts interact and have to be designed to work together.

Stella says although the car will look different, it will be an evolution of current concept and not a change In philosophy. But then why was development stopped months before it was launched? I thought that signalled a recognition that they were on the wrong path and needed to course correct.
If the change in the floor and sidepod is sufficient then they may warrant changes all over the car. Not that these other changes themselves bring time, just so that the whole car works as a package and that the time brought from the primary developments is not lost through poor integration.
Sidepod and floor naturally both interact with the diffuser, beam wing, floor edges, the way the air is pushed around the rear tyres etc... I'm sure there is more to it of course, I'm not technical so I couldn't do more than this technical guesswork.
Edit: The tunnel entrances could also be affected as could the delivery of the airflow from the front wing, so the postions and strength of the vortices from the FW might be adjusted. Or not lol
Sounds like the MCL60 was designed by James Key's kids.
No wonder the car did huge strides backwards in these last two years. James Key was overrated at the end of the day. He was good for a small team like Minardi and Torro Rosso but not good enough for a top team like Mclaren. Seidl was good for DTM or whatever he was before but Formula 1 is in another level. It will be very embarrasing for them if the car magically transforms with the change in philosophy.

I see what you're doing. Take a frikin break.
Yeah, yeah, no one likes a realist!
We both know the facts, you just choose to see only half of them.
You know what I find hilarious, you guys take issue with me calling the car flawed and using comments from Lando to back up my assertions.Balalu wrote: ↑17 Jun 2023, 14:43We both know the facts, you just choose to see only half of them.
Repeating the same poop again and again will not change anything.
It has been discussed to death, resurrected and disussed to death again many times. Just grab a beer, relax and move on, for your own sake and for the sake of eveyone that reads these forums.
