McLaren MCL35M

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.

Those front brake ducts are a work of art.

Were they upgraded for Belgium? I don't recall them being so detailed the last time a picture of brake ducts was posted here.

What I understand is that yes, they brought upgrades to the brakes (but not sure if they were internal or external) to Spa

Seidl said that there would now only be a few minor developments to the MCL35M over the next few races.

"Definitely we're nearing the final tweaks on the car in the next couple of races," he said. "We have brought some small upgrades again here, in the area of the brake ducts, that we will run today”

You can also pick out the diffuser edge vortex on the right hand side I think.

I (an aerodynamicist) on the otherhand just see a mess :twisted: Just years of ever tinier iterations and optimizations :lol:
