They look the same as before . But as we know the Papaya brakes look completely different .

The black inner component looks like some sort of collector to compress air for the discs from what I can make out.

One thing is for sure , ex-Red Bull Rob Marshall is genius (!)
McLaren won the 2025 WDC and WCC just by the brake trick ...

Hmmm, at first it was the flexible front wing then the mini DRS gap rear wing, now it’s all due tire cooling.

Maybe it is just a better car, shown by their one lap pace earning 9 poles.

The McLaren is super fast in the slow corners .It's there where the RB21 is losing 'tenths in every lap..
McLaren doesn't need the pole but the race they win anyway.
Last year Miami-2024 it began and I couldn't believe my eyes . Suddenly the MCL39 tires lasted forever in the Miami heat (!)
That transformed the MCL39 in a super dominant car...

Well NOR was on the absolute limit with that FP2 time so at least MAX can make something of that. Meanwhile PIA got a reprimand but no penalty for yellow infringement, also both Mercs each receive a one place grid drop for going to pit lane before FIA confirmed a start time.

MAX got narrower slats in the RB21 front wing and a new floor and as we know a new Honda PU.
Hopefully that's just enough to give the McLarens a good dog fight (!)

Damn I like the temple of speed . Can't wait ...
