McLaren MCL38 speculation.

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.

To date, we have seen images of all the chassis in the peloton, except for McLaren. This is the most hidden off-season on their part, in my memory.

The real Williams and real Alpha Tauri haven't been seen yet either

Williams won't be unveiled until the 20th Feb either, so they're going to have the most covert winter

True, zero teaser images this year and they used to post a lot of those in recent years.

Grant it, there was barely anything to be learned from those teasers but we are almost completely in the dark when it comes to what to expect design-wise in the new McLaren.

Sure, Mercedes hasn't posted anything as well, but Allison has made plenty of comments dropping hints here and there about what could possibly be coming.

Literally nothing from McLaren.

I don’t think there is a live Launch event, it will likely be a short video followed by press releases. Unsure when the shakedown is, but I’d assume it’s in the morning if Mercedes is doing a launch event in the morning because they are running Silverstone today aswell.

this makes sense because they already did live media interviews with the livery reveal and the Lando deal.
Ferrari today also had a short video but did media interviews later...I guess the media avail will be at the shakedown

haha I spent 20 minutes rewinding and forwarding trying to work out some shapes... at first I thought they reduced the centre-line cooling cause it looked like a really extended sharkfin.. then I couldn't make out the sidepod bulge and it looked very far back behind the cockpit.

Then I realized I'm just crazy and should just wait a few more hours. :lol:
