some people at the bottom of this page have posted something about Mclaren calling their current car the MP4-28A, A? really? Fuelling speculation that they are designing a B spec.
Forthly, if the chassis are homologated, could bringing an upgrade to the sidepods, engine cover, floor, diffuser, front and rear wings be enough to call it a B spec car? Surely upgrades to those parts of the car is standard?
Sorry for quoting myself and I know we have already discussed this but I've just read the February issue of F1 racing and reffering to the Mark Webber interview in particular he talks about the 'B spec' chassis or rather the lack of, he highlights points I made in the second paragraph I quoted from myself
Quote Mark Webber:
''And you have to consider how much the car has changed: they used to call them 'B' specs back in the day, the FW14B etc. By the end of 2012, the Red Bull RB8 would hace been a 'D' - the same as Mclaren. They dont add the letter any more because the cars are evolving so aggressively. Thats just the way it is now.''
Ok, one for the car now, another article I read was Pat Symonds trying to predict what we'll see on some of the 2013 cars, this is before any had been launched.
''What will be the 2013 breakthrough? Well, I suspect we'll see some cars adopt designs that carry through to 2014,
such as pull-rod front suspension - a design that will work well with 2014's low noses.''
So Mclaren arent wasting resources going down a suspension path for 1 season only like is has already been suggested they are....?
