McLaren MCL36 Speculation Thread

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

IF that's the McLaren the hope they'll be challenging on the title front would seem slim.
Interesting. Seeing things you don’t like in that render?

Probably not worth reading into for another 30 minutes or so.
The Aston looks like a race car - this looks like the FOM car.

It kinda looks even more generic than the generic FOM car

Who said they were going to challenge for the title though? Literally no one from the team has ever said they expect to fight for thr title this year. The target is 4th again.

As for the car, yes, it looks extremely simple/generic. But I will hold my judgement until it hits the track. They could still be hiding stuff at this point.

The top front wishbone mounting points look aggressive!

I wonder why they haven’t swept back the rear suspension wishbone like last years trend

Well, the Team already has said that there is a lot coming for the first race… So probably an early version without a lot of the important details…

I like it though, interesting what they have done with the bodywork

You’d be hard pressed too say those sidepods look like the FOM car
