While checking out the pics of the F1 testing in Malaysia, came across this McLaren MP4/22, on the second day of testing, with Lewis Hamilton at the wheel. It has 4 mirrors!!!! Could it be that Lewis was having such a hard time seeing who was behind him during the Australian GP?
Well, my speculation is that McLaren is comparing the aerodynamic performance and rearward visibility of the 2 different placements of the mirrors. Guess McLaren is merging the designs of last year Ferrari 248F1 sidepod mounted mirrors and this year Renault R27 sidepod/winglet integrated mirrors (don't know the official names).
