Early days yet but here are the times so far.
 
Can't really make out much of that Mclaren Diffuser, not sure whether my work monitor is just dark or whether the picture is just like that!
Will have a proper look at the pictures this evening mind :)
 
Someone put a comment on the F1 Fanatic site that McLaren have requested a super injunction against photos being taken of their diffuser :p
 
The mclaren diffuser does look drasticly different from the othrs so far. It seems as if there is the standard part of the diffuser, then a bit in the middle that a lot of other teams are messing with, but then there is a bunch of stuff set back deeper within the diffuser above the middle section.

The fact you can't actually see between the lower section of the rear wing and the bottom of the diffuser on the mclaren, but you can on the rest of the cars tells you that someone isn't gonna like it.

There has been one rumour that the diffuser on the McLaren could be starting as far forward as the V in Vodafone on the sidepod :eek:

That could explain a little bit the high back and some of the cooling being moved up there.

I thought there was a rule that prevented them bringing the diffuser that far forward in the floor? I doubt we will get any real confirmation until one of em spins off and has to be winched off the track.

Clearly cheating. Old men can't drive!

Shame they aren't televising really. Kinda taken the glory out of his re-debut seeing has is more or less the ambassador for the sport. Anti-climax tbh.

STR should be getting back on track by the end of the session, think there's only 30 mins or so to go.
