Yes it is all secret squirrel in these days of rapid development!

I like the livery, but is it weight saving that is really happening here?

Next year we'll see an all-black McLaren with a few thin orange stripes. :lol:

It is possible to hide updates in the area of ​​the side pontoons and the bottom.

Possibly at the race, not in this picture though as it is just a Launch render that was used at the start of the year.
But to be honest I don't think the black livery will hide anything at the track.

I also wonder if these "Special Liveries" are an attemp to test different liveries out with the fans and gauge a reaction. I quite like this livery compared to so much orange.
Perhaps a touch more blue on the top of the sidepod ramp itself somehow would be nice, but I wouldn't change much, it looks good.

Thats the launch spec render. So yeah, the car is different from what they have right now, but it doesn't show the upgrades.

I don't mind the blue, I'd like just a touch tastefully used on the sidepods to break up the black.
