MP4-23 -MP4-24 Comparison by Atlas F1
1. The nose is quite raised and has a rather round shape, it's a lot bigger than the one used last year.
2. The front wing is bigger and is closer to the ground. It has simple endplates. The two planes it comprises of have a round and wavey shape.
3. The front part of the body is very high from the ground.
4. Like Ferrari and Toyota, McLaren has built little barge boards in front of the sidepod inlets.
5. The front of the sidepods is high and round with the inlets being very small.
6. The rear of the sidepods is almost as high as the front, this was notably different in 2008.
7. The exhaust pipes no longer stick out of the bodywork. There's a little bulge where the hot gasses come out of.
8. The air inlet above the driver's head is very small and sophisticated. It is further away from the headrest, the design in that area seem to be well worked out.
9. The engine cover is probably what resembles most to last year's car.
10. The rearwing is higher and narrower but the endplates still have many slits in them.
