2023 - McLaren Formula 1 Team

[Ground Effect]

Edd Straw ranked Lando No1 in Austria...

Edd Staw's rankings don't make sense, to be honest.

I mean if all you had was say Microsoft Powerpoint to produce the graphics, I would say, "not bad."

I love the Papaya... But the livery looks like Sh*t... Hate the Blue as well...

Due to weight they should make it Papaya & Black Only... Just x100 better designed...

Having Google as a sponsors sort of dooms you to look like a clown car. The company famously has no aesthetic sense, which is impressive considering they have only a million employees to potentially draw upon... Their corporate culture is artless. They were being sort of ironic twenty years ago when they went "all the primary colors lol" corporate identity; well the humor's subsided. They even call their endless cringe cartoons they make people look at "doodles," because, well, what else are you going to call them, they suck. Then they suggest "durr rainbow wheels on da rayz karr" fs.

For all of you who says they nedeed more chrome on the car,yes, but can you imagine the nightmare of speaking with the other sponsors who needed to aprove this change,I wouldn't like to be the person conducting those negotiations

How much weight does the paint add? Red Bull and Ferrari both are painted "head to toe" and yet they are quite fast.

To paint an F1 car you need at least 6 kg of paint.

Don't they use Vinyl these days, as well as paint?

[AR3-GP]

I don't think there is any spray painting at all.

I like how everyone is worried about whether they like or dislike the chrome livery and don’t seem to bothered that we might not see the full 75% of the upgrade on Oscar’s car in Silverstone (just the same 50% Lando had) and the remaining 25% might not make it for either driver in Hungary.

But yea that paint or is it paint?

They're producing what they can. The update has been cleared to be produced but it's just a matter of what is possible in a short amount of time.

What's the point in sitting here moaning that Oscar might not get the 75% when there's every likelihood that it will turn up ready for him on Friday? Even if it doesn't, what good will us complaining do

They could've held back the first parts of the upgrade until Hungary when more would've been ready, but they made the (with hindsight of Austria's results) great move to rush it and bring parts of the upgrade early & to one car. It also seems to be a significant step in the right direction. So I think McLaren deserves praise. Hasn't this thread been full of condemnation of the team enough?

And as for the remaining 25% of the update: perhaps not as critical to rush this last part of the update as it's not a huge thing for performance at a track like Hungary. We don't know

I'd like to see this:

That's what I thought, it is much lighter than Chrome Paint. Thanks for the video.
