McLaren has remained true to the system for Japanese Akebono brakes : the image that we propose is possible to see the sophistication of the basket carbon front . In addition to the hub holes you can see the bell of the disc that is appropriately punctured : the aerodynamic Woking , in fact , have devoted great attention to the management of the hot air generated by the disc and caliper.

If the flow through the central hole you try to reattach the flow towards the rear diffuser , " cleaning up " the front wheel harmful turbulence , it is interesting to understand how heat is radiated from the circle to contribute to heating the rubber . And it is no coincidence that the circle is thought Enkei with an outer ring of holes useful for disposal of high temperature .

Is this the first time we've seen Mclaren try the 'heat sink' inside the wheels? Very similar to what W04 did which if I remember right helped with tire management issues.

New Diffusor

McLaren have realised that as cool as this livery may look, its bloody awful if you want to see any text on it? Won't be great for sponsors!

I like the no nonsense mentality of only doing it on the fronts where it is needed.

Wow that diffusor is quite extreme right? I mean there aren't even small sidewalls on the outside of the Diffusor.

What's the benefit of such a design?

Aero's not my strong point, I would guess given how slim the MP4-30 is at the back perhaps they don't need sidewalls on the outside of the diffuser as the airflow is directed efficiently enough to not need them ?

i think=
this is for speed up the air and create down effect ...and trying to do that at point closer to wheels ...

It's interesting how he said that the 29 had more downforce than the 30.
I know they bang on how a predicable and consistent car is better than a peaky downforce car BUT surely they would want more downforce than the previous years car and a consistent car, especially with a mr. Prodromou on the books.

He said he was surprised about how good the honda is! Just needs to be more reliable.... That's an understatement if I ever heard one.....

Well if 29 had more DF then 30, what have they been doing over the winter? I remember Ron mentioning in some interview that MP4-30 had amazing DF numbers in the simulator. I guess all of that was BS and just empty talk from Rons side.

I somehow wait for the McLaren Honda to blitz to atleast within a 1.5 s of the mercs. That would at least say that they have some kind of performance but no reliability. Right now they do not seem to have anything, a fictive "zero size" car that will be fighting with manor in term of points.
