McLaren MCL36

[cliffgamerz]

Any news on what the actual first race upgrade package will be, will it be standard front wing and rear wing upgrades or will the bodywork will get makeover like Redbull and Mercedes as i find McLaren to have had same sidepods since the actual team launch, doesn't mean it doesn't work or it's bad, just its so simple and might be a area where gains can be made to improve efficiency of the good standard package they have currently.

As with everything in F1, a compromise is needed, I’m thinking running the floor lower to the ground for better aero will give more laptime than laptime found riding the kerbs?
Or can anyone suggest otherwise?

It’s Autosports subscription content so I can’t quote the exact paragraph.

Regarding Mclaren within the article it says that Mclaren arguably has the porpoising under control the best so can run the car lower to the growing for aero but Lando says that he can’t attack the kerbs like the other drivers can.

From the running on board I saw, the McLaren is beginning to scrape the ground at much lower speeds than any other car so that would make sense.

I'm curious about the constant speed runs I saw, Lando was turning the wheel very aggressively on turn in during, creating a lot of slip on the front tyres

I heard Sam Collins saying McLaren have some interesting things under their Nose...

Any pictures available ?

There's an article from the race on Lando's strange steering, they claim it's linked to the new front wing. I hope it's what you're referring to.

If you are referring to a cooling duct for the radiator in the t-tray, that was inaccurate.

Wow, something not complete drivle coming from Gary Anderson? colour me shocked, that was actually an interesting read

I noticed at the presentation that the McLaren front fender is very close to the front wheels, which is not seen in other teams. So it looks like the team was really preparing for this.

Exactly! I wish we had this version of Gary Anderson more regularly...

Interesting comments from Joylon Palmer, he says the Mclaren MCL36 is one of the very few cars that can ride the curbs:

That damned brake issue. There are so many good things about this car which were hidden in the shadows of the problems they had in Bahrain.

Can't wait for the weekend so we can finally know where or whereabouts it stands.

I'd rather have something that can be understood and fixed, unlike the Merc car which looked like a real handful. Ultimately easy cars to drive are usually easy to drive faster than difficult handling cars.

Other than the brake issues, the MCL36 never had serious porposing issues, rode the bumpy Bahrain circuit well, and was quick and reliable in Barcelona / Bahrain.

Im very optimistic that the MCL36 is a top 3 car.

I agree... Really looking forward to this weekend...
