Changes technical regulations for this season Formula 1 has forced teams into making major changes to the back of his car. It’s figured out how it might be McLaren outsmarted the main competitor for this year’s title, the team Mercedes in Red Bull.

While major changes to the technical regulations are expected to occur over the years 2022, are greats Formula 1 for this season made some changes to the bottom of the race car, diffuser in brake channels. It seems to be McLaren found a way to take advantage of the gap that gave them some advantages in recent testing in Bahrain. In Woking they worked very hard to make during the presentation of the car MCL35M well concealed its posterior part. This, of course, led to increased speculation about the team trying to hide something that might give them an advantage. These suspicions turned out to be grounded, as the British team found smart solution for amended rules.

McLaren has obviously outwitted both Mercedes and this season with its backside solution for this season Red Bull.

It seems to be McLaren extended the bottom of its car even further back, with the bottom of this year’s car taking over some of the functions of the old diffuser. The race cars of most other teams have bottoms that end at the rear axle running in the direction of the diffuser. At this year’s McLarn, the bottom reaches over the rear axle and provides the race car additional vacuum. Times Daniel Ricciard, which was twice the fastest in the morning time of testing, suggest that it is McLaren may have advanced compared to competitors.
