Mclaren MP4-29 Pre-launch Speculation

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.

That appears to be the case. Their 2014 teamwear looks to be white+silver (flat gray?) with no title sponsors. Will McLaren run with no major sponsors in 2014? Was this the reason Martin got sacked and replaced by Ron?
uff I
it says mclaren on it! this is big news, you have to hunt the logo on all the previous team kit, its on the size label on the polo i have for instance.

as for the car I would love to see the logo more prominent, maybe even they could use mclaren road cars /p1 as the title sponsor if they don't have one

Drawing was based on Mp4-8, that's why it has Goodyear tires and number 12.

I hope they're working on a similar list in case their car underperforms this year too...
