McLaren MCL35

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.

Car launched and pre-season testing complete. Job done. Right? Wrong. The 2020 development race has already begun in earnest. Many of the cars that will take to the track in Melbourne will be different to those that teams began pre-season testing with and unveiled a month ago.

Now we’re not saying you should expect wholesale changes, but those of you with a keen eye for detail will be able to spot our Melbourne-spec upgrade package on the MCL35. It features a number of tweaks, some of which we tested in the second week at Barcelona, including a new floor, diffuser and front brake ducts.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?
Kimi Raikkonen: I can only drive one car, obviously.

Mclaren left their T-Wing at home (or will be bolted later during the weekend?)... Not in the car for screening

Is OTR a new sponsor or apart of BAT? I really like how McLaren have a curvature in their front brake ducts. The Renault's brake ducts look bulky (which may better to cool the brakes). Ferrari look to be moving towards more of the Merc/RB FW philosophy. Our sidepod undercut is massive compared to AlphaTauri.

Looks like it is a one-off deal here is the company website https://www.ontherun.com.au/about-us/
and here are all of the BAT non cigarette companies: https://www.bat.com/brands. Hope this can help you a bit.

The other picture show the old front wing. That is pretty standard. Initial build with old parts. Then put on new stuff.
