It looked like that last year as well at the launch it's the way PP thinks.....remember Mclaren's last year aero development in season?Gerhardsa wrote: ↑23 Feb 2018, 09:34I am disappointed.
This car doesn't look like something that belongs in the top 4 (teams wise, not even talking top 4 spots in a race)
Looks not nearly as well designed as the Merc, RB or Ferrari.
I was really hoping for some radical chassis development from a "revived and refreshed" McLaren team over the winter.
But then again, I might be talking or judging to soon. From the look of it, it seems like McLaren has a long way to go.
At least the floor looks wicket!
But this isn’t a sculpture competition... nothing looks good, unless the car is a winner, then everything looks excellent all of a suddenGerhardsa wrote: ↑23 Feb 2018, 09:34I am disappointed.

Ah, I missed that newsflash. Sounds really logical given they first need to understand how the Renault engine behaves in combination with their chassis. One step at a time!Thunder wrote: ↑23 Feb 2018, 09:31Mr. Prodromou stated a few Weeks ago the Launch Spec will be very basic. But Race 1 Upgrade is in the Works for 2 or 3 Months now and will be quite substantial.BosF1 wrote: ↑23 Feb 2018, 09:14The sidepods have a huge undercut but seem rather wide at the top, especially compared to other Renault-customer Red Bull. However some people posted on the forum that Renault it self and McLaren might have gone a bit more conservative with the engine cooling and indeed it looks to be that way.
The front wing is more or less the latest iteration of de MCL32 front wing. The barge board area also seems quite similar to the latest iterations. I guess they want mileage at testing (very understandable) and will bolt on the new bits in the second week of testing.
It's more like MCL33 now and in Australia it will be MCL33-B if you follow that logic since it's clearly a new chassis.
Without the Petrobras livery we lost an opportunity to name it the lizard.
