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.

could suggest something further forward being updated, or maybe a new setup they need to verify

Mclaren have a slippery car, and engine at full power. I expect a strong showing from them this weekend.

I thought it was interesting as well, though he didn’t expand on that. I wonder if there are a few more new bits we’re not yet aware of.

Wasn’t there some pictures on this forum of the rakes by the sidepod?

+Rear brake tins and there seems to be some small bargeboard parts too but I can't find a good photo.

It looks like they're back-to-back testing something on the front wing as they've swapped nosecones/wings a couple of times through the session. I can't see what it is on the video though, have to wait for photos.

from mclaren.com

"Carlos is back in the garage, run completed. He's giving feedback to race engineer Tom Stallard on the two front wings he used in that run."

further

"Carlos comes in and swaps noses. It's a front wing test rather than a problem with the original one. "

and

"It's a very busy morning in Montreal. There's a lot of new parts to test this morning, plus Friday in Canada traditionally is a difficult one for fine-tuning the set-up because it's very different to the last couple of races. Also, it's a circuit where drivers find the speed through iteration – so perhaps more laps than might be the case elsewhere.
