Prilicno evolutivno. Nije ovo daleko odmaklo od proslogodisnjeg bolida. Pri tom jako malo novih detalja, osim ocigledne promene - novog nosa. Koji je prilicno lepo i detaljno odradjen. Zadnji kraj je maltene identican i ima jos mnogo prostora za doradu. Bazican, sto bi se reklo.

 

 

Rekao bih da su bili prilicno zadovoljni proslogodisnjom sasijom...

E jebi ga. A Alonso kaze da je odusevljen aerodinamikom.

[Downforce]

Sto samo znaci da mu je aerodinamika i prosle godine odgovarala.

 

Honda je vas problem. Ako ona proradi ovo ce biti prilicno brz bolid.

Tako je. Moja zelja je 4. u konstruktorima.

[Downforce]

Ako Arai ne usere, to je realan domet.

Nagledasmo se klovnova baš prošle godine, neće mi nedostajati ako Radoje batali ti praksu

Meni se ipak čini da je još uže spakovan pozadi.

[Rad-oh-yeah?]

Fotke proslogodisnjeg koje se prikazuju za poredjenje su rana specifikacija bolida sa kojom se islo na testiranje i u Melburn, do kraja sezone je to jos vise licilo na ovo sto su sada prikazali, pa i nos (ima nekih sitnih promena u detaljima). Takodje, slike su taman tako slikane da odaju utisak da je zadnji kraj uze spakovan (meni se cini otprilike isto, uz ipak nesto manji erboks). U svakom slucaju, evolucija a ne revolucija, sto je po meni u redu - ja sam cak govorio da treba i ove sezone da teramo proslogodisnji bolid modifikovan taman toliko da primi instalaciju novog motora, da bi imali bazu da realno procenimo koliko je Honda popravila performanse. Jer ocigledno je da je to daleko najbolnija tacka i da ako se tu ne resi problem dzaba sav potencijalni napredak na planu sasije.

 

Sto se tice klovnova, i ja se nadam da ih necu morati ponovo kaciti, a to zavisi samo od toga da li ce Arai ponovo krenuti da prica bajke i da nas ubedjuje da je crno belo. Honda je prosle godine omanula na toliko nivoa - tehnickom, sa "GP2 motorom", medijskom, sa Araijevim suludim "obecanjima" i "prognozama", i marketinskom, sa "motorima" koji tvituju nebuloze - da se tako nesto vise ne sme ponoviti. Videcemo da li su se uozbiljili i da li imamo cemu dobrom da se nadamo ili ce se i dalje glupirati kao onomad sto ce znaciti da se cirkus nastavlja...

pa u ovim izjavama arai zvuci najrezervisanije, dok su baton i bulije, cini mi se, previse ekstaticni.
nego da vidimo ove prve testove i "ucenje hodanja da bi znali da trcimo", pa ce nam dosta toga biti jasnije.

Tech analysis: The 12 key changes on the McLaren MP4-31

 

Giorgio Piola and Matt Somerfield give their verdict on one of the most hotly-anticipated cars of 2016: the McLaren-Honda MP4-31.

Despite a pretty disappointing campaign in 2015, McLaren and its drivers remain optimistic that things will be very different for the second year of their partnership with Honda.

Indeed, the problems with last year's package were so fundamental, and changes needed so extensive, that it seems logical to suggest that big jumps should come for the season ahead.

At the online launch of the new car, McLaren talked about 'all-new innovations' on the car – although offered little detail about what exactly they were.

Here we look at the key points of interest on the car.

1. The nose borders on the shortest 'thumb' design we have seen, with the extreme slope back to the bulkhead mitigated by the continued use of the split 'S' duct.

2. Like the other launch cars we have seen, the front wing is a carry over from last season and may be revised before Melbourne.

Red Arrow: The MP4-31 might not be full of innovate new parts but it does have some nice detail touches.

A small duct has been placed in the front wing pylons, allowing airflow to pass from the outer to inner surface. This is likely quite important given the length of the pillars and how the airflow needs to be controlled.

3. The Vulcan-finger style front brake duct is retained by McLaren as it clearly sees the benefits it has on shaping the airflow around the tyre. However, like Mercedes did last year, it has tacked another duct on to it.

 

 

4. The inlet for the 'S' duct, under the nose, has been enlarged, which should allow more airflow to pass through the duct to the upper surface, overcoming the nose's steep inclination.

5. The steering arm has been mounted in front of the upper wishbones front arm. This reduces blockage and increases the surface area with which the team can condition the airflow rearward.

6. The team has retained the blown axle which takes airflow from the brake duct and passes through the hollow axle, controlling how the tyre wake is shed.

7. The upper rear arm of the wishbone is placed much lower than the forward section, suggesting the team is in search of aerodynamic gains from it. This is a novel solution from McLaren and not something that myself nor Giorgio can recollect being done before. 

 

8. The sidepod shape, inlet and aerodynamic control devices are all very similar to the car's predecessor.

9. The floor slots introduced in Singapore last year are shown on the launch version of the car but it is an area that continues to interest teams, and could be amended going forward.

10. The rear section of the sidepods and engine cover seem to remain relatively unchanged, suggesting that Honda has kept true to its word on the retention of a size-zero philosophy.

11. McLaren has returned to a standard suspension geometry for 2016 having utilised the butterfly style suspension blockers in 2014 and retaining the offset rear leg in 2015. The gearbox will have also been redesigned, changing the placement of the suspension pick up points.

12. Like the Ferrari and Mercedes-powered cars, the Honda power unit will utilise two wastegate exhausts, in this case either side of the main exhaust.

However, what has really grabbed our attention is that it has taken a design cue from Toro Rosso, intersecting the main exhaust with the rear wing's central mounting pylon.

This not only brings structural stability but also acts as a flow stabiliser for the exhaust plume.

Izvezli smo u prvih 10 minuta instalacioni krug, bilo sve ok, od tada u garazi.
