McLaren F1 Team Unleashes up to 100 Aerodynamicists to Study Red Bull's Floors

McLaren Formula 1 team principal Andrea Stella says the team is carefully studying detailed photographs of Red Bull's 2023 floor.

After Sergio Perez's stricken car was lifted off the Monaco circuit recently by a crane, photographers were quick to zoom in on arguably the most critical and normally-hidden aspect of the dominant Red Bull.

"It's very rude to look up people's skirts really," joked team boss Christian Horner.

It was initially reported that the images initially only dismayed Red Bull's competitors, given just how detailed and advanced the floor appeared to be.

"It clearly showed that we lack the detailed work compared to the competition," admitted Williams team principal James Vowles. "Of course we look at the photos but you can't just copy a Red Bull or Mercedes floor. You first have to understand why they come to those solutions. If you don't understand the flow dynamics or the concept, then copying is useless."
