McLaren MCL37 speculation thread

[Xero]

Another car with plenty of exposed carbon. i don't hate it honestly

I hate that we're in an era where teams are skimming down on paint to save weight. Tells us the MCL60 is still on the heavy side.

Visually, the nose has become more rounded than a year ago.

Last year taught me not to get too excited and that my aero eyes are quite bad.

Hopefully this car is fast.

to be expected but they confirmed themselves, front pull rear push, went through their website source code and files but no hidden pictures or anything lol, maybe the same media outlet as last year will fuxx up again and upload the pictures early

Could it be cost/time savings due to budget cap as well?

I was wondering the same thing... Will there be a correlation between black in the livery and the car's weight/performance?

We've only seen half the grid thus far but the two lowest ranked teams last year - AT and Williams - have a full color livery but 3 of 4 midfield teams (Merc, McLaren and Alfa) will have plenty of exposed carbon it seems.

Pretty odd if a full color livery is meant to be a reflection of performance (yes, the red bull was also full color but we will see if that's the real deal when the real car hits the track)

Interesting car next to the Austin 7

I think it’s the 2022 car, based on the fact that it still has the Gulf sponsorship and the color scheme doesn’t quite match the teaser that McLaren put out (driver numbers inverted, etc.)

Yes, that is the MCL-36 in the background

Aye, thanks chaps - I don't recall it being quite so black..but you are obviously paying more attention than me!

They were gradually taking paint off throughout the season to save weight I think

It shed color through the season
