yes ! maybe another ferrari nose ?

W02 style sidepods.


McLaren are running huge sidepod inlets compared to Ferrari and Mercedes...

maybe staying conservative and safe before testing is done...

I think the reflective surface of the Mclaren side pods is making the inlets look bigger than they are and also because they are skinnier at the edges compared to the Ferrari.

From those previous pictures I'm guessing it's a similar nose to the Ferrari?

Can it be true or is it a fake?

Thanks, online newspapers are publishing anything at this time.

Alteration of a still from the youtube clip, it's too well hidden though for anything substantial to be revealed.

McLaren sidepods undercut more plus Maybe it's a gamble making the inlets smaller as cooling will be important for turbo and ers.

Any idea about the bulk between the mercedes logo and the cooling slot ?
