[SmallSoldier]

Well, the first teaser is here!

Let the speculation start

Well, you can safely say that the chassis will be made of carbon.

Exactly what I was thinking!

Lol how stupid they are. I bet now everybody is gonna copy them.

McL could be serious this year.

Great drivers, great team leader, great aero lead, extra development time from doing to p4, great engine, and all of 2021 development devoted to 2022.

This could seriously be a McLaren winning year!

I expect a James Key masterpiece. Low drag, twitchy, and quick tyre warmup.

Well, here's something real. The upper air intake is of a different shape, more reminiscent of the creation of MB W11.

Hole-tastic!!
The air intake would suggest reduced centreline cooling, maybe they are buying into the charge-cooling concept that ONLY AMG use with the Mercedes engine?

It looks like the motor is already in the chassis.

Maybe they'll switch to a water-cooled intercooler?

I'm not sure, but maybe this is a look at the side pontoons.

Narrow Sidepod ??

Narrow Sidepod ??

It's hard to tell, maybe it's a fish-eye effect.

There's two things I've noticed in those pictures. The sidepods seem to be quite low down compared to the bulkhead. Also, I'm not sure if this is just the lighting but it looks like they are following the same style of a quick thinning of the nose at the end of the chassis bulkhead

Roll hoop slimmer than in the MCL35M and seemingly taller:
