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.

Was there a J-Vane behind the Cape in last year’s car?... I believe I spotted one in the MCL35M

Very basic launch spec. Still weeks to go till pre-season tests so no point wasting resources producing new parts. Very smart to get some running in tomorrow's shakedown.

Look at how early the sidepods end.

is it me, or does the car seem to have a slightly lower ride height? especially towards the back.

Very hard to tell that from the renders... We will need to see out on track to really see a difference.

They're not showing anything at all. This was a lackluster launch, they're keeping all the details of the car hidden.
Same as always from all the teams. Ofc we will see at testing much more. But this is just starting point for ur conversation. ,

If any i can say that.

1) This undercut is quite bigger from mcl34. Smart move if u ask me. That bet could help them made early adaption to the new floor rules as easy as possible. I think they want squeeze overflow as much and early as possible. Made cleaner core flow that is further from floor edge. How will that work with underbody who knows.

2) Additionally is quite obvious that Merc thermal footprint is much smaller than Renault. At leat from my count potato eyes. Ofc Mcl could also risk to much and they will accomodate bigger exist accordigly. We will see in testing if they will test new cooling regime in hot contidions.

Nice picture... The MCL35 already made the MCL34 look a bit fat... The MCL35M was definitely on a diet and hit the treadmills hard!

:o I don’t think anyone can say the new PU instillation will be a compromise any more

Looks like it fitted it in nicely to me =D>
