Did anyone else notice that Monza was the only time during the 2005 season that the McLarens have run without their characteristic bullhorns on the engine cover? Have a look here:

Must have affected their outright speed, seeing how little downforce is required on that circuit. Also check out how little rear wing they're carrying.

 

Contrast this now with Spa, a traditional 'aero' circuit:

Note the following:

- The horns are back!

- The rear wing has a much greater angle for downforce

- The front wing is back to using triple elements (count them), instead of the two at Monza
