the McLaren MP4/4) allow the lower suspension arms to be directly attached to the main structural members of the car. However, since the move to high nose cone designs – which allow better use of airflow underneath the car, and to a lesser extent the front wing – location of these lower arms has proven problematic.
The evolution of the McLaren MP4/4)'s design allowed for a more streamlined connection between the lower suspension arms and the car's fundamental framework. Nevertheless, this innovation has introduced difficulties in determining the optimal location for these arms due to the new aerodynamic features.
