mock chassis? to short for f1?

edit: are you sure that's new? not his F3 fitting?

[Saribro]

Could be some checks for their presentation of historic cars at Bahrain?

Thats a 4 isn't it? Just a retro fitting for some PR stint I reckon. Unless they're using that as the mule for the MP4-28. Lol.

It's not an F1 car that for sure. Look at the roll hoop.

Also, look at the F1 car in the background - rear wing is pre-2009 spec.

Guys, are you serious ? it's obviously an old Mclaren. Maybe the Mp4 4.

I also thought that, but the MP4-4 had an extension at the monocoque front...

Looks like both of those cars to me. And I'll go along with the new sponsor idea, it's the only one that makes sense to me.

Its an early 90's chassis. Maybe the MP4-4. Mac are showing off 20 cars in Bahrain.

F1 cars in the turbo era just had roll hoops, they didn't need the frontal area the airbox makes when the ram air effect wasn't needed.

It is an Mp4/4.

Here is a picture of Bruno Senna driving this, his uncle's car, at Goodwood.

The exact chassis is the MP4/4-04 i think.

[scarbs]

I'd say its a MP4-4, the chassis looks so short, as the aluminium deformable crash structure at the front is not fitted. Back in those days the nose box was often bolted, riveted or bonded to the monocoque, only later did the QD nose boxes appear.

The number 12, Honda logo, roll hoop, and the fact that we have a photo of Bruno driving it confirms it.
