Indications are not so positive, however. Behind the scenes there are rumours that the newest version of the Honda power unit remains underpowered when compared with its rivals, and casting an inexpert eye over the MCL32 on launch the car looks to be significantly more substantial -- heftier, even -- than the others we've seen so far. If the car is as heavy as it looks, 2017 could prove to be another annus horribilis for the team.
Heavy? You can tell a car is heavy by looking at it? wow, us Brits needs scales to do that, you normal people are amazing

Man, you guys really like to whine about McLaren's livery, don't you.

EVERY... SINGLE... YEAR...

"Wha wha wha, McLaren's livery sucks, why don't they use orange"

They do it, and you guys are all like

"Wha wha wha, it's not the exact arrangement of orange I'd like"

Get over it. The car looks great.

No longer MP4-. The new brooms have swept Ron out.

The livery is hideous and has back-marker level written all over it. I can't believe a company like McLaren who has the branding people they do cannot see how bloody awful this scheme is.

Love the car. Love the livery. Don't understand what needs to be done to impress some fans.

I'll second or 3rd that, could care less how it looks, as long as they continue the progress to the front end of the grid. Will be interested in seeing the car once it hits the track, in actual daylight....

The first Mclaren in 40 years to not feature neon/ fluoresence in the livery.

And white highlights on orange and black????

I think it looks crap.
F1 car width now 2.0m (same as 1993-1997). Lets go crazy and bring the 2.2m cars back (<1992).

hmm actually i found what you might mean. he has ordered cars presented so far and its like You said Merc, Ferrari, FI, McL. i read his tweets during presentation and he pointed to details he finds interestng and no word about car being weak, underdeveloped or so.

Why do so many people have an unhealthy obsession with Macca's livery? Its downright weird.
