In the past, teams have used audio analysis to determine power levels of enginesGalacticHitchHiker wrote: ↑27 Jan 2021, 20:06
I'm curious what could potentially be given away with audio analysis, something to do with their exhaust?

True, I mis remembered that, or simply misread at the time, you clarified to November in a post but same difference to December almost. I stand quite corrected sir.diffuser wrote: ↑27 Jan 2021, 03:12Remember, there where dates for different parts of the chassis. The last date being in December. The part with the tokens, chassis structure and cooling behind the cockpit, needed to be agreed upon in September.mwillems wrote: ↑27 Jan 2021, 02:31Another interesting point in there, going back to a conversation with Diffuser and a few others (IIRC)... It states that the chassis was homologated in December, so design work continued up until around then before the chassis was finalised and probably it wasn't finalised in September as we may have previously thought._cerber1 wrote: ↑26 Jan 2021, 15:04Production MCL35M

Front wing, not structural and aero was the last part.
Yes, for a power unit under full load, on the track, where other factors can be monitored. You're not finding anything from it revving up and down in the workshop.Macklaren wrote: ↑27 Jan 2021, 20:17In the past, teams have used audio analysis to determine power levels of enginesGalacticHitchHiker wrote: ↑27 Jan 2021, 20:06

Agreed. Especially once you get all the audio compression, microphone eq effect etc that happens with a YouTube/Insta video.PhillipM wrote: ↑28 Jan 2021, 04:42Yes, for a power unit under full load, on the track, where other factors can be monitored.

I think as you have mentioned the advantage of having the car ready mean's they can shakedown the car and make sure Merc power unit has been intergrated properly and a chance to see if cooling need's to be altered before the first test in Bahrain. They only get 3 day's testing this time right? so they can't afford to waste to much time in the garage looking at cooling issue's etc. The video they released earlier also said they have already got planned Part's/upgrade in the pipeline so I would imagine they will be looking at where they can regain downforce. Hard to say where there focus has really been but maybe they have managed to reprofile the sidepods to increase airflow around the floor and slim down the engine cover in part?the EDGE wrote: ↑28 Jan 2021, 12:26Wow I’m surprised it’s that early, these release are normally like a week before testing at most
I guess that means there’s not a lot to hide this year, so I don’t think we will see a new side pod philosophy that I was hoping for
No doubt the aero-kit will be last years on the launch car like normal
I think it adds weight to an early shakedown at Silverstone
Are they still allowed 2 filming days a year?
Yes, I suspect you are right about McLaren sticking to their original schedule.KingHamilton01 wrote: ↑28 Jan 2021, 14:59I think as you have mentioned the advantage of having the car ready mean's they can shakedown the car and make sure Merc power unit has been intergrated properly and a chance to see if cooling need's to be altered before the first test in Bahrain.

Of course all of that above is speculation on my half, not long until we find out now anyway.
Not 100% sure what you mean there, but if your referring to the time, the launch is at 19:00 GMT
So a perfect noon'ish timeframe for the US of A.

Oh I get ya, that makes sense then
That's full power, I.E - qualifying output - is going to be about a tenth, maybe a tenth and a half per lap, depending where, nothing spectacular.
