Let’s take a look at one of the most interesting features that we’ve seen on the MCL39 so far, albeit all of which have come courtesy of some less than desirable trackside ‘spy shots’ given that McLaren have yet to release any official images of this year’s challenger.
The pull-rod, the lower wishbone’s trail leg, and the steering arm, laied out in a way unique to McLaren, was that done for weight distribution reasons (the rack and pinion assembly is closer to the driver) or for aerodynamic reasons (as your article suggests, it allows for some agressive fairings and flow control towards the floor)?
