Yes, it's a quick fix to ensure the cars don't DNF. Aesthetics don't really matter if it makes the difference between finishing the race and not finishing the race. Even if McLaren don't score any points, the data generated will be invaluable to solving the brake problem properly. I just hope the brake issues haven't delayed the upgrade package for the car.
Right? Anyone who has taken a good look a race car up close will know they rarely "look good" underneath.Hoffman900 wrote: ↑17 Mar 2022, 18:45Can anyone of you guys even weld?
It’s a race car. It’s thin titanium. It’s fine. Did anyone see RedBulls just jammed with insulation? This place sometimes…
The wheels are covered this year so hot air from the disk has to be carefully directed to turn back towards the inboard side of the wheel hub. The cake tin alone cannot do this, so they have these weird doughnut shaped collectors here to help accomplish that.

Also interesting is the pullrod is metal with a carbon fibre shroud instead of a fully carbon fibre composite. Can anyone make an educated guess as to what metal they are using and what gives it away?
It would still be multilink no matter what. The centers of the spherical bearings are offset in space.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑17 Mar 2022, 21:50Well. The ends of the lower contral arms could be stacked onto one stub and it not be multi-link any more... We would have to see the Wheel hub to confirm.
