McLaren MCL38

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.

I find it really interesting that they have pretty much left the floor completely untouched since Miami. Expected something here but it seems not.

It depends, could be some changes underneath that don't need to be disclosed

Floor may have been held back for Mexico when they have more than one free practice session to test it and dial in the set up (and revert to the current floor if it proves problematic).

The floor area is extremely sensitive. So making changes is somewhat risky. Weren't there changes after Miami? I remember that there were some changes, maybe not noticeable to the eye, but there were.
