2022 - McLaren Formula 1 Team

So according to this post https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comme ... urce=share

Mercedes, Aston, Red Bull all bought multiple show cars, McLaren didn't buy one, not sure on the guys source of this information, so take with a pinch of salt

*Edit* it seems this information has been verified by the F1 Reddit mods

Indeed.

Let's hope McLaren will show a early car at least, like Haas

I think Mclaren will follow the same path as last year where they had a filming day before the first preseason test so I hope we will see as much of the real car as possible tomorrow.

Yeah I saw that first picture, but expected "1 per team" kind of thing, not Mercedes to buy 8 of them

Mercedes might send them off to prominent dealerships or rotate them around. Same for Aston Martin.

McLaren probably doesn't need that or they just send over some of the heritage cars which are much more interesting than what most other teams have available.

As expected, not everyone will make a joke of the car reveal. Aston Martin showed a real car - perhaps obfuscated a bit but real. I must say I like the look of these cars better than the show car in FIA colors, that scheme really hurt the looks of the car.

Good point, Mercedes do rotate their show cars around a lot! And I agree the F1 Livery left a lot to be desired, but any Twitter renders I saw made the cars look incredible.

A quiet year on the sponsor front though. From reports, they’ve been multiple departures, with hardly any new signings?

Very true, however the team did sign a fair few sponsors towards end of the year e.g. Smartsheet and Datarobot

What's with the different livery on the pictured F1 car top left?

Also looks like they added pinstripes to those front wheel deflectors between taking that picture above and filming the presentation:

The velo logo also seems smaller on the live image (?)
