That's some serious rubber on the left-front tyre having been picked-up (or degraded).

Definitely looks to be pickup

They're gone for the ductless style brakes today, front and rear.

Jerez - Day 2

Interesting detail on the exhaust cutout. I suppose that's the FIA 'cone' vs where they really want the cutout to go?

[Gridlock]

Is that an air pressure sensor, that stolen-from-a-Dyson black tube running across the top of the diffuser?

Isn't that the Gurney flap?

What's that around the rear crash structure???

Measuring device for airflow?

That's the boot :p

Is it just me or does the McLaren look tidier and simpler than Ferrari and Red Bull? Maybe it's just the livery.

That is in my head from the start of the test sessions. Looks super simple and DAMN FAST. Every part is like continue from other... and nothing unused. Perfection for me!

Nice clear shot of the diffuser. It surprises me how uninteresting the McLaren is this year. I've gotten used to blown wings, moose antler side pods and the like. Looks like they've instead concentrated on refinements - unless they've got something crazy hidden away under the body work, that is.

Yeah it's last years diffuser.
