I'm not sure what you're looking at in the pictures but the mclaren pull rod goes forwards at a very shallow angle, the Mercedes is a far more direct load path.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑10 Mar 2018, 15:14The McLaren one is a mored direct mechanical motion because the pull rod is more parallel to the motion of the wheel.
There's either going to be a lot of uncontrolled compliance in the Mclaren setup or a lot of extra weight, obviously they think it's worth the slight aero benefit but time will tell.
