McLaren MCL34

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Overview by Scarbs:

Edit: unfortunately on the renders
This is what I call doing something for the sake of doing it. A not so good overview imo. SHOULD have used the real car. An overview of a render using a generic FW is a waste of time imo. You'd expect someone who does technical overviews to know that.
He knows, he just can't use other people's copyrighted stuff for his own analysis. He can use what's available out there for free, and at the time mclaren PR render shots were probably the only thing.

I agree he should delay the overview until more usefull stuff comes out, especially because people would still watch it even with a delay of a few days simply because he's the only one that does a proper technical analysis with some more nuanced information compared to lets say autosport which is more causal.
Not true. Marc Priestley does a better job of technical overview and is much more knowledgeable when it comes to Formula 1 technical aspects because he has actually worked long term in F1 and was McLaren's number 1 mechanic. His MCL34 overview (and all others) are much better.

FW getting interesting, particularly how the element under the wing is being used and how far it extends.

I didn't notice that the airbox has such a bulge at the inlet. Really takes me back to the FW13 :D
