That picture explains a lot. It is just an aerodynamic fairing over an essentially metal part.M840TR wrote: ↑27 Jun 2018, 18:55https://cdn-image.as-web.jp/2018/05/081 ... 80x856.jpg
It's not all carbon though. Seems to have broken where the two arms attach.
From this photo, the upper arm till the joint with the pull rod remained in tact.
By regulation the uprights have to be Aluminium, maybe the point of failure is where the upright bolts up to the upper wishbone.M840TR wrote: ↑27 Jun 2018, 18:55https://cdn-image.as-web.jp/2018/05/081 ... 80x856.jpg

That indicates that McLaren's workforce is pretty good, only to be offseted by incapable leadership.mclaren111 wrote: ↑28 Jun 2018, 14:05Motorsport.com:

Even Mercedes is copying McLaren !!
I've said this several times: Front wing slots, wing pillar slots, S-duct, their rear suspension (the attachment point on the wishbone is pretty much the same as Ferrari's, I'm not sure which came first), and now their rear wing endplates. Everyone's copying McLaren all the time, so they are able to come up with good ideas. It's just that they're probably offset by equally poor features of the car.mclaren111 wrote: ↑28 Jun 2018, 14:05Motorsport.com:

The thing is that anyone can come up with a good idea. The difference is in whether or not you actually understand what you are doing. And I don't think McLaren has any clue on what they are actually doing.DiogoBrand wrote: ↑28 Jun 2018, 22:29I've said this several times: Front wing slots, wing pillar slots, S-duct, their rear suspension (the attachment point on the wishbone is pretty much the same as Ferrari's, I'm not sure which came first), and now their rear wing endplates.
