The four key concept changes that transformed McLaren’s MCL60 F1 car
When McLaren launched the MCL60, they were not entirely happy with it as they had missed some core design ideas. However, the team has made significant improvements since then and achieved a double podium finish at the Japanese Grand Prix. One key area of design change is the outwash front wing, where McLaren has focused on managing the gaps between the flaps and the endplate to maximize the outwash effect. They have also made their sidepods wider with a big undercut to enhance downforce, along with the implementation of “water slides” to channel air and work the diffuser better. Another important design element is the floor, which teams are very secretive about due to the high amount of downforce it generates. McLaren has reintroduced the edge wing to enhance floor performance. Overall, these design changes have contributed to McLaren’s impressive resurgence in Formula 1.
