Problem is that what EB think is "exciting changes" and what we McLaren fans think of as exciting is most probably very different things :( :(

Don't expect too much. They won't show all their Aero gimmicks on the 24th.

He Probably talks about the Livery, and one has to say that is a VERY exciting topic going after the F1 Forums. So as much as some want him to be wrong, he probably won't be. ;)

I was on the Mclaren Honda page and in the sponsor section i noticed that a Stratasys is added and i dont believe i seen it before, especially as it is with other names that are actually on the car, so is this the new minor sponsor logo that one of the members here was talking about? Aparently they have signed a 4 year deal with them.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

Interesting that EB refers to the car as the MCL32A.

does that mean they're developing a MCL32B?

while also sending off 4 Hamilton players to make it more interesting"

The A is probably the Pre Season Version with B being the Car for Australia.

I hope that is the case rather than a B spec that is being targeted for the European races.

Talking about hiding the gimmick, I am excited to see if anyone does anything similar to what RB did by putting up stickers as exhaust outlets to hide the EBD.

I know this is a "new" McLaren, but historically McLaren haven't been hiding away their innovations at launch. I remember the f-duct, and coanda bulges being on the launch cars, not sure but also believe the canopy/mushroom suspension was visible at launch as well.

And this year they can't really show the car with last year's Re and FW, as usual.

there is always the modification designator "A" following the chassis model. Last years car was MP4-31A, start of season to finish. Sometimes they will use a different mod designator if a chassis has been heavily revised for any special project - maybe a dyno chassis for example. It does not indicate any planned "B" spec in the pipeline
