Didn't expect much from the car, as it's basically last year's car. But that livery is SO boring ...

It looks slimmer at the side pods around “a better tomorrow” than its previous one

A proper number at the front would be nice. Such as in a meatball and a stylish #4

Quick differences are:

Different side pods air inlets
Different / New cooling outlets a top the sidepods
Addition of a J-Vane behind the cape
New Rear Wing end plates


Interestingly, the same front wing as V1 of 2020 (not the one they introduced in Russia)

Engine cover looks lower, but I have nothing to judge by

Did anyone catch any date information regarding the filming day? Is it going to be this week?

Tomorrow at Silverstone, that’s why the car wasn’t on the presentation

They just lease Mercedes engines, no sponsoring from Daimler. If you want your name on the car, you have to pay!

Display of the logo would be part of the deal, like a soft sponsorship. Doesn't appear on Williams or Racing Point either, so completely expected.

Meaning Renault was paying? Because it was on the 35

apparently so, or Renault has it in their contract that their name must be on the engine cover.

Exactly, lower price for the PU in exchange of the sponsorship. Renault wanted their brand on a McLaren. Mercedes want to keep their brand to their own team.

It make sense for McLaren and Aston Martin who are cars makers not to have the name of another car company on their F1 also
