Nah the car looks like the new one but would make sense to have slightly different sponsors for the e-sports team

A quiet year on the sponsor front though. From reports, they’ve been multiple departures, with hardly any new signings?
They signed a lot for this season towards the end of the season last year.

All the car needs is a sponsor on the engine cover and it’s pretty full then

I'm not a fan of this livery, to be honest. Guess I'm too conservative, but this is not RB this is Mclaren, it needs to be unique. Too aggressive style for me, but let's hope it drives better than it looks

More black to keep paint weight off ?

Hard to tell if it is Pullrod front suspension. Looks like it might be but high chance of error with those two shots.

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 (?)
isn't that the McLaren Shadow Car?

Yes, it’s the livery that the e-sport team will use

So compared to what we have seen so far with the other two cars what is your first thought? Is it a show car or the real thing?

Well... Again it has taken my love for McLaren to heal FIA inflicted wounds. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the season. First and foremost I hope that spineless skeleton armed fool Masi gets fired. But to be fair on him he is only controlled by that duplicitous slime ball Brawn and co.

The car looks absolutely massive but very cool livery. Looks like less sponsors on the car which I'm guessing is down to relocating them elsewhere within the group?

The livery looks great but why does it look darker compared to the screen behind them? The the lighter colour is obviously nicer. Was thinking maybe it's darker because TV makes things look even brighter so the darker orange might look papaya on TV?

Lastly... I miss the days where you could immediately see inovations on the cars. Nothing pops out compared to the FIA car.
Finally, everyone knows that Red Bull is a joke and Max Verstappen is overrated.

The top image of all the cars together is actually a render. There are physical differences too that match up to the isolated renders we've seen.
