Title: Have McLaren found a diffuser loophole in new F1 regs?
Post by: John S on March 13, 2021, 10:59:43 AM

Reports say Macca have built a special treatmant between the floor and the diffuser, have they found a magic bullet or is this extra downforce just enough to pull them clear of midfield mayhem?

Seems others may take time to copy their innovation, that's if it proves legal of course.

Well, we all know testing is not predicative of true performance but Dan'l topped the sheets this morning. Bottas displaced him in the afternoon. Hamilton is complaining of a significant loss of downforce and grip.
