Piastri has suggested there are items on the car that could get the F1 paddock talking once testing gets underway.
“There are some interesting things on the car which I’m sure everyone will see tomorrow,” Piastri told media including RacingNews365.
The floor?
Wasn’t it rumoured Mclaren didn’t bring a redesigned floor towards the back end of last season so the other teams couldn’t see it and then spend all winter creating their own interpretations of it?
I know McLaren did take a new floor towards the latter part of last season but I think we all agreed it was very similar to the eye compared to the old one
They did bring a substantial upgrade to the floor in Mexico, adding a second kick further up, as Vanja explained, so don't think they were keeping anything hidden. Always better to test on track
Struggling to remember that to be honest.
Just had a look at pages 66 and 67

Looks to me like we are all struggling to see anything with our eye- even Vanja at that moment in time.
Vanja may have spotted something later and I haven’t followed their observations.
Vanja has noticed a ‘pocket’ on the MCL39 floor pre-season - this might be the floor the team didn’t want the others to see.
I’m only speculating though from my arm chair, I’m looking forward to what we can see over the next 3 days
