Teasing a light blue/orange gulf livery??

Look to the far left, looks like a pale blue engine cover

Well whatever opinions people might have I am optimistic regarding this year and I keep my fingers crossed for Mclaren to make another large step and hopefully take the fight to the next target Red Bull.

If you look at the other pictures I think you’ll agree the blue on the far left is actually the glove of the other person

If you look close you can even see the texture is wrinkled

That said, I think you could be right about the tease of the colour

Didn't even notice that #-o

But yes, could still be a tease, since they're wearing to different colour gloves ...

Probably one of the Key parts on the interview:

“Whereas every other team will carry over most of its car from last year into this year, our switch to the Mercedes power unit means that’s not the case for us. It’s driven a huge amount of change and, essentially, we’ve been building a new car. The number of new parts on the MCL35M is about the same as when we built the MCL35.

The back of the chassis and gearbox bell housing around the engine have changed significantly to adapt to the new power unit. Changing power unit greatly alters the architecture of the car and the way everything is packaged, so the entire cooling layout and all the pipework – be that for fluid or air – has changed, along with all electrical harnessing and control boxes.”

In that case fingers crossed that we might have found a loophole in the rule to gain an advantage.

Another interesting point in there, going back to a conversation with Diffuser and a few others (IIRC)... It states that the chassis was homologated in December, so design work continued up until around then before the chassis was finalised and probably it wasn't finalised in September as we may have previously thought.

Remember, there where dates for different parts of the chassis. The last date being in December. The part with the tokens, chassis structure and cooling behind the cockpit, needed to be agreed upon in September.

Front wing, not structural and aero was the last part.

Aero? I thought aero was free to work on
