McLaren brought significant floor upgrades to Baku and Miami in an attempt to claw back some performance. But what do these upgrades consist of? Mark Hughes explains, with a technical illustration from Giorgio Piola.
McLaren have run the last two races with an upgraded floor, planned even before the car was launched when the team admitted they had been late in understanding a particular implication of the floor height regulation tweak, but now that they did, they would need to reconfigure things. The new floor, introduced in Baku and raced also in Miami, represents that change.
