Mclaren Mercedes MP4-25

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

I think it should change
Why? It goes well with their sponsors and is iconic. Everyone knows a McLaren thanks to years of being Silver
Yeah I agree. They said they were staying silver as soon as the split with Mercedes. Just look at the team wear....looks good old Mclaren to me www.mclarenshop.com

Interesting that they are using conventional wing mirror supports. Most teams last year were using the mirror support as turning vane.

... of course it could all be a distraction and they turn up in Bahrain with the mirror/turning vane combo.

This, the Brawn, and the Red Bull cars should be the most interesting designs. I also predict these three cars will be the most competitive this year.

I've looked at it more and MY GOD is it developed! The Camera's on the nose seem to be on another lowered wing that's underneath the nose of the car. Still processing it but lordy, lordy, it looks like a monster!

Yep, shark fin. Sidepods appear to slope right down at the back too. Most interesting feature is the mounting of the cameras under the nose. Not sure if it's legal or not.

Lots of interesting features on this car, from the front wing, to the mountings under the nose, to the unique shape of the nose itself. The sidepods as well as the rear end look quite interesting.

Definitely looks more unique than the F10, and personally more attractive.

I'm not keen on the look of the side pods and shark fin, but by god have they developed that car. Can't see it being in the middle of the pack - either they've found some huge steps forwards and its at or near the front, or they've messed up again and it's going to be at the back. Hopefully the former.
