From the race article… The vortices on the MCL36 do look stronger and pretty defined vs Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull:
The Ferrari and Mclaren pictures were taken when they were on full wets, while the Mercedes and RBR were in Intermediates… Not sure how much the amount of water would change the patterns thoughjumpingfish wrote: ↑28 Feb 2022, 19:04Сould it be due to the different amount of water on the track? Not all cars drove at the same time, and the track dried quickly
It's worth noting that the top two cars are on wets, the bottom two on inters. So much less water around and thus much less spray. Ergo, less definition behind the front wheels.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑28 Feb 2022, 18:59From the race article… The vortices on the MCL36 do look stronger and pretty defined vs Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull:

I was just saying that if the mclaren was at 300 kph and the other at 200 kph it's normal that the mclaren has a stronger vortex, so these pictures can't be used for a comparisonDiogoBrand wrote: ↑01 Mar 2022, 00:08This car is faster because it throws water around in a prettier way... said no one ever.
I don't think there's any conclusions to be drawn from this.
I believe the Ferrari is turning in that pic. Appreciating this is not the Ferrari thread, but the spray is roughly equivalent for all cars. I think people have started to read too much into the spray patterns.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑28 Feb 2022, 18:59From the race article… The vortices on the MCL36 do look stronger and pretty defined vs Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull:

only thing I heard is the 'race' spec floor is different, but going by what they said before, it could just be a lighter version with less bolt on test bits.
