McLaren has taken a step forward. Not content to follow in the wake of Red Bull and has invested heavily in designing its new car for 2011, called MP4/26, ie the twenty-sixth car that leaves the union in the 80's McLaren (M ) and Project Four (P4), the structure Ron Dennis took over the team of New Zealander Bruce McLaren.
The coming-out has been in Berlin and did not disappoint anyone. There was talk that would be very innovative solutions, and so it proved. Undoubtedly, that has attracted attention is the gateway to the radiators in the form of U, to let as much air as possible to the plane alerónt lower back. As explained by Paddy Lowe, the new head coach of the team have worked very hard in that area of \u200b\u200bthe car because it was key to regaining much of the downforce lost by the prohibition of double diffuser.
Likewise, the battle of the car, the distance between the two axes of the four wheels, is longer. "The goal with these two developments is to feed air quality at the lower level and the floor of the car. We want to work behind the best possible," Lowe insists.
Tim Goss, director of engineering, also emphasizes that McLaren will be a challenge to stretch the tire life beyond the 10 laps that currently are lasting. "So we have to look closely at how to configure the car tuning and suspension to make them last longer."
McLaren will take place, as every year, an aggressive aerodynamic development in 2011: "We have located the car in some areas where you can add improvements in the coming weeks, but the goal is to be very reliable in the first race of Bahri, that is the great challenge, "he insists Goss.
also striking back behind the minimalist, very use of which sell like hot cakes season, and the double entry of air over the engine cover, again to increase the flow into the new rear spoiler mobile debut next week at the Jerez circuit both Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton. The outlet air the motor cover is based on that of Red Bull RB07 presented Tuesday in Cheste.
