They are thermal cameras I would say (only for friday). That's a FIA Spec part (TV camera and has to be the same for all

The 'flanks' are part of the sidepod deflectors and haven't changed.

Is it me or are they loading the outboard part of wing slightly more than what they were doing with the Spain spec wing?

In canada they even ran a gourney on the top fw element close to where it meets the endplate so they are definitly trying

lol i noticed i posted in wrong thread, well here its easy to see the difference, new vs old. the new ones mainplane ends closer to the ground and is attached lower on the endplate also the tunnel beneath the endplate is different starting out almost flat

AMUS friday analycis
> Merc on another planet
> Merc and and Mcl where the best at handling the tires today
now to the specific mclaren part
"mclaren presented itself very well in all conditions. Lando only 2th slower then vet. In soft longrun they where on rb level. The modifications to the front part, fw and floor seem to have worked. "and that on a track thats not supposed to be a favourite" enjoyed seidl.
The modifications are aimed at aiding the car in slow and medium speed curves/corners making it more stabile. Seidl warns though "we where very fast in montreal also on friday and then fell back" Further hulk sees mclaren as their main competitor this weekend. "they look rock solid, will be difficult to beat them" not least because mclaren has less problems getting the tires to work. "We solved that pretty well, by the looks of it, better then a lot other" Seidl confirmed



McLaren machte unter allen Bedingungen eine exzellente Figur. Lando Norris war in seiner schnellsten Runde nur zwei Zehntel langsamer als Vettel. Im Soft-Longrun lagen die McLaren auf Red Bull-Niveau. Die Modifikationen an der Vorderachse, am Frontflügel und dem Unterboden haben offenbar eingeschlagen. „Und das auf einer Strecke, die nicht zu unseren Favoriten zählt“, freute sich Teamchef Andreas Seidl.

Die Modifikationen zielen darauf ab, das Auto in langsamen und mittelschnellen Kurven stabiler zu machen. Seidl warnt jedoch: „Wir waren auch in Montreal am Freitag extrem stark und sind dann am Samstag etwas zurückgefallen.“

Hülkenberg schätzt McLaren als Renaults größten Gegner ein: „Die sehen grundsolide aus. Es wird eine harte Nuss, die zu schlagen.“ Vor allem, weil McLaren wieder einmal weniger Probleme hat, die Reifen zum Arbeiten zu bringen. „Wir haben das ganz gut hingekriegt. Offenbar besser als viele andere“, bestätigte Seidl.
