McLaren MCL36

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.

What is the white thing sitting in-line with where the exhaust would go for? Some kind of measurement device?
Probably a laser leveling tool.

That pushrod is interdimensional.
Mclaren got their time-space suspension theory wrong and their pushrods don't connect in the middle. That's why they're so slow. You heard it here first.

Is this something they have realised or an educated opinion?

At least this probably means soon enough they'll be able to go back in time and fix it.

Key said that aero is working as expected. We have great results in Barcelona, reports that the car is really planted, agile and without porpoising issues. But then, in Bahrain, we see a car fully covered in flow vis, we read reports about corellation issues etc. This doesn't add up.
I'm utterly confused...
I don't think Barcelona is a great benchmark to use anymore. That was the first time any of these cars had seen a track. They weren't close to being pushed to the limit enough to expose any weaknesses outside of porpoising IMO. While Bahrain isn't representative of most tracks on the calendar, teams obviously were pushing the cars 100%. Quali and race days usually expose things fairly quickly.
Exactly forget Barcelona.
Perhaps Mclaren was one of the fastest in Barcelona whilst the rest were getting up to speed with their new machinery. Once the rest started bringing updates and started optimising set up it started to shuffle Mclaren back through the pack
Norris agreeing with my thoughts as to why Mclaren fell back from Barcelona to Bahrain

They probably misaligned the centroids for their worm holes, otherwise it's difficult to balance warp and orbit. Not really my area of expertise though, just hawking theories.

Can anyone confirm that they've reverted back to the Barcelona spec floor?

Channeling the air on top of the Tunnel (my guess to create a high pressure zone on top of the tunnel inlet and therefore help accelerate the air going into the tunnel) and then towards the edge of the floor to help with the front tire wake management… You can see it in this picture with flo-viz:

Yea I can see that. I just feel they are asking too much of the air to be effective with this solution. Maybe the other teams think the same as well considering they are using that area for the throat
Well, other teams are using that area for other purposes, for example Red Bull / Ferrari have a wider T-Tray area to house electronics and t-tray dampener in there… the effective area of the Tunnel entrance should be the same or fairly similar.
I see. So is the there a maximum size for the throat of the the floor?
