The McLaren team has also mode a modification to the nose of the MP4-26 to install a data recording system.
The bulge is containing a measuring device that is apparently designed to measure the flexing of the front wings under full load at high speed.
Four rods are linking the end of the wings to the bulge. A cable is attached to each rod, leading to believe that a sensor is attached to the end of the rod, fastened to the wing.
