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.

Looks the same as in France. Am I wrong or do we have yet to see a T-Wing this year?

I’m hoping that it was 2019... Seems a little early for 2020.

But, most probably they tried it and didn’t provide the expected results so it’s back to the drawing board... It will probably be back for Silverstone for further testing.

Apologies... I meant 2020...

Is it me or the wing in the top has a different Y250 approach (the one below seems to be the Spain update)

The middle element is not touching the central section like the bottom wing

Just looked into the paddock pass posted by F1, Will Buxton said that there is a new floor coming for McLaren which is a huge step forward in performance and can bring up to 0.5 seconds (which he then dialed it down to a couple of tenths). According to Will, the floor is ready but it's a little overweight and has been sent back to the factory so they can fix that weight issue. When he asked Carlos, he didn't deny it aswell, and confirmed that the team is targeting races like Silverstone and Hungary for their upgrades.

That reasoning seems a little off.. if it’s that big a step, surely a small weight penalty is worth taking it. They’ll have 2 weeks to trim the weight after. It’s not like engines where they can’t touch it once it’s raced...
