But on a serious note, I am genuinely curious to see how their claims of having one of the best chassis on the grid will stand up now that they have a Renault engine in the back.
True maybe because we haven't seen an orange car in years, even Arrows Orange wasn't that Orange. Anyway let's hope they will be top 5 at least.
Holy shit, what the hell I can't believe I even read that!!!
I'm way too amused by the thought of Wolff, in a moment of pure spite against someone who's not even a serious championship contender, calling up Lotus and going
"Äktivät it"
Love the papaya. The black and blue parts seem to disappear. The eyes just focus on the papaya.
Plus it's the colour that makes the most sense for McLaren. With no Mercedes engine to make it silver or Marlboro sponsoring white and red, it has to be orange. I have no idea what they were doing with their livery since they stopped using Mercedes power.
Well it did eventually help Sauber when they were begging for sponsors last year's (officially celebrating their 25th season ;)).

Very simple sidepods/bargeboards compared to other teams so far.
The tweet works so much better when you see the car and legit it looks like a back marker.
But im sure this isnt final.....the car doesnt even have McLaren branding on it.
Im sure the space on the side is for the McLaren branding and that the other random empty space on the front of the car is for the McLaren logo.
Brehs this looks great y'all trippin'
As I was saying...
Looks better in my opinion.
Anything to stop cockpit intrusions is good in my book, a halo is better than nothing.
This was from 2006 when Paul Tracy's car ended up on top of Sebastien Bourdais' head:
Bourdais later said he blacked out as the weight of the car came down on top of his head.

It does, for sure. But ehh, the rest of the car looks terrible anyway so it's irrelevant. :D
Yeah, it's not ideal, but it's better than last year's in my opinion. :)
I just find orange and blue such a cheap combination...

Following the shapes of the top down ferrari, haas, williams and renault is almost like fine art, it would be "the meaning of life".

Is that the new F1 logo?
Nhaaa... This is the F1 logo:
Remember, two cars side by side crashing into the tecpros.
Edit, i miss Pastor :(

That does actually look good! But having seen the McLaren out on track, the blue doesn't look too bad. I guess the studio shots and the lack of title sponsor just doesn't do it any favours.
I'm excited for McLaren this season. Ron Dennis is gone. The GP2 engine is gone. They have a livery that reflects some kind of brand identity. That team had their spirits crushed every weekend for three seasons straight. It's time for some success. Alonso will absolutely be back on that podium.
The end quote of the Video:
"allowing the drivers to push the limit even further"
So it's not about safety, it's about finally doing more dangerous shit.
Im glad Bruce McLaren disagreed with you.
Due to the Petrobras/Lubrax stuff they're probably trying to get mor fans at Interlagos.

I'm coming into this way late so I apologize if it was discussed a while ago, but has anyone seen the Amazon f1 special McLaren? Fascinating stuff
The documentary felt too short for me. why only show the pre season?
It was inter-season, the documentary.
I wish they went much deeper with the manufacturing, both at McLaren and at Honda (for both point of views...), and continued with the R&D of evolutions during the season, but the title is grand prix drivers so i guess it was my fault for wanting too much; specially considering it's only 4x25 minutes, of which 5 minutes are lost at each episode to open and close. I hoped it would be 4x45 minutes.
I was disgusted looking at the sponsored watch, an ugly square worth the price of a Bugatti veyron... i wouldn't want that at my wrist and we spent precious minutes with the sponsorship event with Richard Mille. Who, in his good mind, would prefer that to an Omega Speed Master (if we forget the 79 or special projects).
But it was captivating nonetheless, and time flew by quickly. It was nice seeing people we used to see in the garage work on the car at the factory :)
Because they didnt have the FOM permission to shoot any footage at the races......
The Renault F1 was not the F1 2018 car... it was a computer model to show the livery.

Even the test footage that they showed was not correct for what was supposedly happening at that time (different days used and spliced together) - which annoyed me a little.
That is a right step forward. Guys at Force India must be clapping with their ears right now
Yeah I'd definitely add a bit more red, but I love how it looks. Way way better than last year's puke blue/yellow.
I agree that it was too short. On the watches, I agree 1000% I have a $500 citizen mecanico that blows that out of the water. Hell, I have an Armani exchange that embarrases that chunk of plastic (that's my daily watch)
