I was thinking it was some kind of improvement to the “F-duct” system or away to move the heated gasses over the rear difuser. Looking at the next photo.. could it be part of a blown exhaust system getting the hot gasses through the difuser? not sure if a carbon fibre exhaust would take the heat. But it is insteresting.

i’d guess that the cooling vent on the outside will be for the KERS whereas the conventional one goes to the engine.
interesting… (if indeed that is the case)

Same as in Lotus Renault R31.

I noticed it on the Renault, but did not see this at first glance. The McLaren is looking great!
