The rear view is horrible.... a bright red rear wing underside... something to do with a sponsor I presume.
Orange, red, two shades of blue, plus grey / black for lower surfaces. Hmmmm.  Cue jokes of it being the rear wont be seen by those behind, until the leaders arrive to lap them.

I think the blue goes well with the orange, so well done McLaren on that score

I see the slogan "A Better Tomorrow" on the side of the car.Is that a sponsor's slogan or a fervent wish?Lets see how things look after the second tests.

agree with s griffin, i love those two colours together, they're very aesthetically pleasing. and i like the 90s arrows throwback styling. but i kinda wish they'd do something similar at the front end, and that red is horrific...

I generally like it. I also like that McLaren carries forward some history by color selection, but at the same time are not afraid to make changes year to year.

It does look like they’ve gone for a lower rake this year. Glad to see they’ve painted the nostrils black so you can’t see them.

Well it appears they are doing better than expected but there is a feeling that the other teams are not showing their full potential.

Difficult to know whether they’re doing glory runs or not.
Possible they are as still have bugger all big sponsors on the car, except Sainz’s sponsors and however much Norris’ Dad is contributing. |

i thought BAT was their title sponsor now?
at least i would image they are paying somewhere between the full rate card (given the scrutiny surrounding tobacco why would they accept anything less) and what Phillip Morris pay Ferrari. anyways i love their write up on the Mclaren site. https://www.mclaren.com/formula1/par...rican-tobacco/ Its Strategic Portfolio is made up of an increasing range of potentially reduced-risk products, comprising vapour and tobacco heating products, as well as oral tobacco and nicotine products such as moist snuff and snus. nothing says a better tomorrow more than moist snuff!

They make these big announcements for what turn out to be small and/or very short-term deals.
I bet Ron doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry. |

they need a bit of an old-school touch, don't they?

Good to see Fred wanting to do some development work on the McLaren. Shows he's a pro at the end of the day
