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.

I think that flow vis there is probably more to check the new rear floor section and the interaction with the new rear winglets/brake tins.

seem they did try the "spoon" wing but almost all teams decided for high df rearwings, which is pretty incredible when comparing to previous years, maybe to aid rear tire wear this year
