1. Changes have been made to the shape and position of the floor fences in order to tailor them to the alterations that have been made downstream. 4. The changes made to the forward portion of the sidepod and the inlet have necessitated that the mirror housing and their associated paraphernalia be redesigned, with the upper slat retired and a revised outer stay employed to better suit the aerodynamic profile required downstream.

7. McLaren is the latest team to adopt a deeper water slide-style gulley on the sidepod’s upper surface, following in the footsteps of Aston Martin which took a more aggressive approach to the design architecture first wielded by. The height of the sidepod’s flank has also been increased in order to maximise the internal gulley layout.
