Is that flo-viz on the wishbones?

They’ve also opened the side pod cooling exits up this race. The exits are larger.

I think the aim is measuring the new deflector on the edge of the engine cover, some of it might get on the wishbone.

[BrunoH]

i think they are just trying to figure out whats wrong in that area. Might be lost to why they have such strugle with the traction.

[Sevach]

Trying different downforce levels.

socking to watch this car on track......my view ...the car is too sort too heavy with very bad weight balance and managment ...looks like to heavy at the middle part of the car and that cut the car too 3 sector ..and not on 2 ..(axles)

mclaren must build brand new car ...longer with must possible less weight and center of gravity lower and much more to the rear of the car ....the mcl33 looks like a car with 3 axle ..the 2 majors on the front and middle ..and the real rear like helping wheels of baby bicylce ..if you remember any one owner of this baby bicycles you cant go fast ..because ..the small wheel diameter ..limit the big one ...the problems of the car is something similar ...you can not go faster even x more power or x more downforce ...bigger wheelbase move weight at the back and lower ...remove us must possible weight from the middle part of the car ...

Weight distribution and overall weight are fixed. So no, that's not a problem with the car.

A car being "too" heavy in the middle is very good for handling.

Alonso "difficult to analyze times, we have done tests for the future, we could not do the whole batch by red flag, there is a lot of grip, contentment, the tires hold up well, the team is very close and there is nothing unusual. it is more positive than it seems "

A clearer picture showing the new 'snow plough' under the car. Note the duct above. Any idea where it leads?

[roon]

Driver cooling? Since they don't appear to be elsewhere.



Good perspectives from Canada:





Imagine if this thing had a Honda engine! Oh wait...

Illustrates relationship between FW height and the forward edge of the plank/t-tray. Although not apparent in this image, the FW footplate and floor/plank are parallel and raked at the same angle, by decree. Sometimes the rear edge of the FW footplate pivots downward under aero loading.

Anyone else notice how big the brake ducts are compared to others?
