Despite not having the free practice sessions they had hoped for, it appears as if the McLaren Formula one team will go ahead and race with the blown diffuser they opted to shelve for the recent British Grand Prix.
It seems as if the Woking based squad believe that their new update will bring beneficial results, even though their drivers failed to make much of an impression on the timesheets, Hamilton due to a crash in the opening wet session and Button due to running on heavy fuel loads.
"Based on the data we will be running it. The problem with today in a sense is that, with the limited running we had, it was difficult for the driver to go out and say this is the way to go. So you have to rely on data.” Martin Whitmarsh told Autosport.
“The data that I saw from P1, albeit wet, was that the main peak airflow, the gas flow from the exhaust, temperatures, the performance, and the pressure tapping velocities were what we expected them to be. So unless something else has come to fruition, which I don't think it has, we should have the confidence that this floor will do everything we expected it to or most of what we expected it to." |
