The area between the Swan Necks look "lifted" or higher than on the old RW...

What on Earth is "the Swan Necks"?

He means the rear wing pylons

If I'm not mistaken, that's what the 2 uprights in the middle of the RW are called...

Correct me if I'm wrong...

Yeah...we definitely need some sort of a standard semantics sticky for this forum.

Everytime i see that front wing, it is on max downforce.

[SmallSoldier]

he mentions the rearwing, and they will test two it seem, but it also looks like the front brakeducts are reduced greatly in size also? or maybe it hasnt been mounted

Those indeed are new brake ducts. But both the rear wings are huge! They're going to get annihilated on the straights with this.

You can’t tell from those pictures, especially at the angle at which the were taken how much AoA they have or how draggy they can be... The wings actually look aggressive... We will see tomorrow I guess

That’s standard semantics in racing... When you have the uprights that hold the rear wing doing it from “the top” of the wing, they are called “Swan Necks”... Race cars use them to maximize the efficiency of the under side of the wing.

The lower plane isn't as aggressive.

Yes they do, it’s the common term for that type of wing support

Cool! McLaren have fitted a couple of tweeter speakers to the car. Maybe it's part of Liberty's move to make the cars sound better...

It's been the common term for that support since they were first run.

Yikes! Thanks for the correction.
