...anybody actually understand it?

I saw something about there's a vent on the side of the airbox or sharkfin that can be opened and shut by the driver using his knee.

That sounds an awful lot like a moveable aerodynamic device to me. Hopefully Matchett will be able to clear up wtf the deal is. And either way, I'm glad a decision has been made prior to the season so it doesn't drag on until half the season is done, like the double-diffuser thing did.

Yep, the McLaren passed scruitineering.

So now (assuming no protest), everyone either has them at the next race, or we find out everyone's already got them and was just waiting to see if McLaren got in trouble first.
