2018 McLaren F1 Team - Renault

[radosav]

From what I've seen that McLaren has top class aero, no joke it's the real deal. I saw it going through 5 then 6 & 7 and thought surely that's the fastest car, I slowed it down and thought it was the Ferrari, but no it was the McLaren. It just looked so planted and it just cut through the turns, don't know how else to describe it.

Maybe they were on hypersofts?
They used them many times.

Here it is behind a Williams, it just looks planted, like it's effortless.

I really hope you're right but I'm not keeping my hopes too high just yet. I'm playing it cautious because we know everyone is running well below their potential.

I hope this issue we're assuming with some kind of excessive heat is just a byproduct of that exhaust issue and not something completely different and unrelated.

Hope for a good productive day today

It is on softer rubber is why it looks planted vs the Williams. Mclaren have been testing with either the supers or the hyper soft.

They have changed the Blue on the FW & RW.

It now starts with a light blue to the dark blue.

I like it more.

There is no way a car will look planted without a good aero balance with those temps, nor with hypersofts, megasofts or petasofts.

Let’s see how they evolve but indeed it looks dynamic.

Any news about the burn markings ?

Still on the Car since they use the old Engine Cover.

So as it seems it's not something really serious....

Well the Car didn't catch Fire yet and Vandoorne is setting laptimes. So i wouldn't worry too much.

Any news about the burn markings ?

They cut some cooling holes:

Also looks like they didn't tighten the cover properly

Maybe some extra anti-thermal coat under the cover ???
