why are mclaren the only team to test some strange devices that i have never seen, and they did it in 09, and it scares me that 09 will repeat again for them

10:07 A McLaren spokesman tells AUTOSPORT that the curious sidepod structure seen on Button's car this morning is part of the team's programme for measuring aerodynamic flow structures while on-track: "Given the limited amount of testing that teams have been permitted over the past two seasons, as a team we feel it's necessary to put as much emphasis as we possibly can on accurately measuring the flow structures we encounter at the track so that we can match them to the flow structures we are able to simulate in CFD and the windtunnel back at the factory."

10:09 The team underlines that there is no need for "alarm bells", and that this is just "normal engineering work".


ah ha

maybe they build a bubble around the car with 1000 sensor to get all the info they need
