Best Picture of the rear wing on the MCL36 for Montreal I could find:
No rain for sunday. So if you setup for a wet quali, you'll be a sitting ground hog on Sunday.onewingedangel wrote: ↑17 Jun 2022, 14:57With rain possible the higher downforce options will likely be preferable up and down the field if they don't lose too much absolute laptime in the dry.
I'd imagine teams will try a few wings in practice (if dry).
McLaren has also made changes to its rear wing assembly for Canada, as it eyes efficiency gains that will also pay off when the wing is employed at other race venues later in the season.
Like you i was a bit shocked at first, but then realised, they haven't used ICE 3 yet, so they wouldn't have taken a penalty nor added an ICE to the pool.Ned S. wrote: ↑21 Jun 2022, 23:38Totally agree with Maax70
Sending 25 to 30% of air that should go under the car to create ground efforts and instead channeling it up and then sideways is going to create more drag and less down force. As Lando once said they are lacking grip. And we are down in top speed too.
I was surprised since Lando had qualified 14 why they didn’t take a new power unit he would not have lost many positions and they could have had a new engine in the pool. It sounds like the team doesn’t want to spend money. I have been a fan since late 1960s and hope they get their act together soon. I feel bad for Lando.
I believe it’s Seidl’s wish to complete the season only using 3 ICEs. This would also tally with him saying that he doesn’t think there will be any major car updates in the near future suggesting Mclaren are struggling to stay under the cost capNed S. wrote: ↑21 Jun 2022, 23:38Totally agree with Maax70

They'll have budgeted for the upgrades throughout the season, so they're tied up from throwing solutions at the car. Expecting one more upgrade package around Hungary/Spa/Zandvoort, then that'll be it. As long as they understand how and why for next season.CjC wrote: ↑22 Jun 2022, 18:49I believe it’s Seidl’s wish to complete the season only using 3 ICEs.

Paul Ricard and Singapore apparently but I'm trying to chase up/confirm on that so take it as a rumour for now.
