Barcelona Tech updates
As the Formula 1 circus begins the European stint of the Championship, the Spanish Grand Prix provides the perfect opportunity for teams to bring their Barcelona Tech updates to the track. Teams have now had time to analyse track data from the first four races with their car under the most representative race conditions. This, together with Flowviz and other aerodynamic tests completed during the free practice sessions has allowed teams to utilise the most representative data to develop the aerodynamic efficiency of their car. 
One of the most talked about Barcelona Tech updates has been the radically designed McLaren nose which features three inlets in addition to fins either side
