McLaren MCL34 speculation thread

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.

Mclaren has found a loophole in 2019 aero regulations.
Is this an assumption or insider information?

A loop shaped hole in the rulebook.

https://twitter.com/McLarenF1/status/10 ... 9047106560 another teaser of MCL34, if you look closely enough you can see the reflection of the car in the bottom right, not sure where abouts? I would guess the sidepod area if the mechanic is under the nose, although it could be the rear of car.

Love these teasers though.

Front wing endplates is the rumour, but so far it's only that, I'll see some lads at the weekend but if is they probably won't know or won't tell anyway.

could end up only seeing something late in the 2nd test as they wont want to reveal their hand. Or if they are sure it will work, they wont turn up with the secret parts until Melbourne! Who knows.

Have any teams actually turned up to Melbourne with substantially different packages over the last couple of years?

I can't recall anything major, but then admittedly I'm not the most knowledgeable on these matters . With the new rules unsettling teams recently and the reduction in number of test days its certainly becoming more common that what we see is more or less what we get (come race day), especially with McLaren

Last year, the McL did not have time, for this test the transition option, this year, we are all waiting for the first tests.

Don't think they'll risk that after the correlation problems they had in 2018
