McLaren says it has not achieved even half of what it wants to do with the aerodynamics of its Formula 1 car, despite recent impressive progress.\u00a0
The result was especially encouraging because it came at the high-downforce Marina Bay circuit that had not been expected to play to the strengths of its 2023 MCL60 package.
“On the aerodynamic side, that package we have here has addressed a portion of these limitations but actually there's still quite a lot of work to do. This has resulted in some subtle geometrical adjustments to the trailing edge of the endplate and the lower flap juncture . Tied into the changes ahead of it and those made to the sidepod alongside, McLaren bolstered the update package with alterations to the contours of the floor and edge wing downstream.
Firstly, the designers have set about improving flow conditions into and beyond the inlet, as the pinch point at the chassis has been turned down , resulting in a shape change being made to the mirror stalk too .
