McLaren MCL60

[CjC]

Car designs are certainly converging this year

Crap isn’t it?

From the McLaren App:

Sidepod inlet shape is unique, cannon vent bends downwards, simmilar to Alfa Romeo's

[SmallSoldier]

Evolution rather than revolution, as expected.
I see a lot of last year's car on it, with a bit more Red Bull-esque details.
Wouldn't get my hopes too high but let's see.

What could be expected? The RB18 was very dominant… Convergence with the regulations was expected… Why not follow a concept that showed it worked?

The sidepods on the launch car is one third Mercedes, 1/3 Ferrari and one third Red Bull

So the Redbull route

To me it looks like a Ferrari/Red Bull Hybrid. Red Bull's cooling intakes with the longer lower "lip"(mentioned in passing because everyone always attributes this to Red Bull - this is a 2017 Ferrari invention!)and Ferrari's side "spill-over"-intake solution, Red Bull's "ramp-down" side boxes equally fused with Ferrari's "bathtube". Practically a total Red Bull/Ferrari hybrid! The cannon vent is quite extreme, but a total Red Bull/Ferrari hybrid.

Front suspension seems even higher relative to the chassis this year compared to last. Almost r-shaped where it meets the top of the bulkhead.

Clear RedBull inspired Sidepods and Ferrari engine cover/top slope

[DragonSGC]

Evolution of last years car for sure but they have knicked inspiration from red bull and now looking at the top down view the downwash channels from the Alpine. That being said the sidepods are really shrink wrapped as they meet the floor. Likewise dunno if its just perspective from the camera's but is the top height of the engine intake lower than it usually is? it feels squashed into the body work almost.

they make their own suspension or bought from merc?

Agree. Now I've seen some pictures from above the car. It indeed looks like Redbull/Ferrari hybrid!

A couple more shots of the sidepods from the presentation:

No real surprises here. Given McLaren is lacking the the state of the art tools of the big teams, best to adapt their features.

They make everything by themself.
