Personally I think there should be standard FIA designed components

IMHO the FIA should have said here's your starter motor access hole, integrate it to your diffuser but your diffuser can't extend more than x outside of it etc etc.

If McLaren insist their diffuser/slot was the same as last year then I can only assume McLaren et al took the p*ss by redesigning the starter motor.

I hate the idea of standardised components and it doesn't belong in F1, IMO. There should be a specified tolerance which should give designers a box/ leeway to work with, as with the front wings and mandated central main plain for example.
