Does anyone know what Alonso and McLaren are doing at the Mobile World Congress? It's an expo for the mobile market, and it seems strange to me that McLaren will promote itself there. Are they seeking a partner in the smartphone world?
they will explain what happened in 2015^^ just kidding...
McLaren page says they will do some technology PR blabla.
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Can we split off the Tesla truck conversation into it's own thread somewhere? I found it quite interesting, but it clearly doesn't belong in this team thread!!
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Maybe Apple will sponsor them?

I had the impression of seeing some navy blue, a lot of blue presence in Alonso helmet aswell.

No I was thinking all black with Orange stripes or lettering or something like that. The blue On ALO helmet has to do with where he's from in Spain.

I dont see any major difference from last season trucks, as I recall they were silver as well, just without that orange stripe at the bottom

So silver, black and orange is my guess. Mix between the West Mclaren and the Bruce's Mclaren of old.
