For the real techies..... Some pictures of the McLaren show a small bulge on the top surface to one side just ahead of the front suspension mountings. Currently, you can see it in this picture:

Anyone know what it is?

I assume it's for testing something? But what as, surely, if it's measuring aerodynamics, it'll be affecting it's own airflow.
