2021 Mclaren F1 Team

[Ground Effect]

Didn't expect much from the car, as it's basically last year's car. But that livery is SO boring ...

I wonder what you thought about the Marlboro years, with an almost identical livery every year.

The weather forecast promises rains at Silverstone, not the best time for filming.

February never is, but I only see a shower around 8-9am then dry all day.

The Race are reporting McLaren are back at Silverstone on Thursday too for their second allowed filing day

The white/orange logo on black looks stunning! Nice theme!

comparing this pic from amus,i added a few guidelines, and i know angles play a big role etc. but if we take the crash structure width as the determing factor, due to regulation, it does look like the undercut is more pronounced and that maybe even the sidepod shoulders are a bit narrower compared to last year

It's not the fact that it's almost identical to last years livery, I just simply think its a boring design, nothing going on at all. The 2019 was better IMO, with the blue rear end, and the triangles.


But of course it's just personal preference

The livery could be dog sh*t for all I care as long as the cars fast or at least building off last years momentum then I couldn’t care less for the livery, the likes of Mercedes, redbull, Renault/alpine, Ferrari have never bothered with radically altering liveries no need as long as the car does as expected nothing else matters

For anyone who’s interested there’s another new McLaren Hybrid launch coming up tonight

This time the replacement for the 570s

I don't really get your rationale for disliking the livery SO much you would actually come on a forum on the McLaren section and say it's boring, especially when it's extremely similar to one you just said you like.






As an aside, getting rid of the triangles has freed up some more potential sponsor space and makes the design flow more.

I second this no need for drastic livery changes colours don’t make a car fast simple

Thanks for doing this!

And yes, the width of the sidepods themselves seem to be shorter on the MCL35M

It’s still early days and things to go through, and many more laps we still need to do, but there’s already comments I have from my own comfort side of things, but also with the driveability and the car itself. Not too many comments yet, no complaints, but it’s still early days
