MCL33 has much smaller airbox opening than RB14 so I would guess they need more airflow through the sidepods.GoranF1 wrote: β24 Feb 2018, 13:58I suspect now that they saw RB radiators and sidepods and IF those work, Mclaren might target those as part of major update usualy at the start of European season in Barcelona, it was expected that Mclaren goes little bit on the safe side in this area whit new PU manufacturer.
Now only one hole in the fairing instead of two.GoranF1 wrote: β24 Feb 2018, 14:54so much free space in the suspension now...

The launch car shows a nose design reminiscent of last years appendage, featuring elongated front wing pillars with three slots that not only help to control, shape and harness the Y250 vortex alongside but also pull airflow around the front wings neutral central section. The team have utilised an 'S' duct for a number of seasons now and it's not the first time that the launch car has been devoid of the device but MCL33 seems not to feature one, or doesn't it?
Having watched the teams 3D animation on Twitter it's clear to see the 'S' duct outlet panelling (inset) which suggests to me that we'll see it return, perhaps in a more aggressive format, during testing or as part of the large update package they've suggested will be available for the Australian GP.

It effectively makes the entire floor into a diffusor, but it is tough to seal out tyre squirt.George-Jung wrote: β24 Feb 2018, 17:50Could someone explain what the benefits are from running your suspension so high?
