Mclaren MCL40

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.

One regulation. Five different diffusers.
F1's technical regulations are extremely prescriptive, yet no two diffusers are identical. MCL40 vs some other solutions.

quite impressive for a "Second round of upgrades" of the Hungarian package. If this is for Holland I (do not) want to know what they have in pipline for Baku :lol:

Looking to follow up its first win of the season last time out before the F1 summer break in Hungary, McLaren will debut a new rear wing, new engine cover, as well as a revised rear brake duct.
Peter Prod & his team on fire again... :D

McLaren ran with a more closed wheel fairing in Holland.
These can both help smooth the aero wake behind the wheel and by insulating, transfer heat from the brakes into the wheel/tyre. Both small but subtle effects.
