McLaren's bid to keep up the aggressive development of their MP4-23 continued on Tuesday when they ran an anvil wing engine cover for the first time at the Hockenheim test
The use of the engine cover follows the trend begun by designer Adrian Newey at Red Bull Racing and since copied by Renault and Force India. McLaren F1 CEO Martin Whitmarsh believes copying the design is providing excellent value for money.
“It’s ****ing awesome!” explained Whitmarsh. “Not only don’t we have to pay for the designs, but we’re getting money back off Adrian after that 11th hour deal in ’04 that really screwed our budget. If you’re reading this Adrian.. screw unto others as they screw unto you!”
Newey is reportedly consulting the ACME users guide for ‘Advanced Revenge Techniques’ before making any statement.
