Mclaren MCL40

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.

I thought I counted them all, and there were still more.

As expected, McLaren will not have visible technical updates this weekend, but several changes have been made “under the skin” of the MCL40.
Weight has been reduced, but the most significant updates are expected in Miami.

It is remarkable how extrem but very smooth the mclarens can drive over the curbs in the last chicane. No one else of the top teams do that. The car looks on the softer side, at least on the front.
