McLaren MP4-28 (pre-launch speculation)

[Unc1e_M0nty]

I wouldn’t say the last McLaren launch was a total red herring, at least with the exhaust buldges they gave us a glimse of what they were trying to do, no other launch went as far.

As for todays lauch I agree with the above, a refinement of last years car which on the whole was fast lets not forget, massive undercuts and some variation on the DDRS.

When it managed to stay in one piece and finish a race, the 27 was very good, so I expect the same thing for the 28 minus the reliability issues.

I hope so, but we havent seen a McLaren quick out of the box for many years......................

Then how come they won the first race last season?

Another Pirelli miracle.

A bit of luck didn't hurt.

Btw, I'm a McLaren fan. It's not like I start hating the team all of a sudden. It's just that I don't expect the car to be anything special and that they will need to adapt to life without Hamilton.

I hope they are as fast as Lotus to uncover the car.

Wont be as quick i think. They start at 10.30 but i guess the uncovering will be at 11.00.

Chassis looks higher does it not?

[Holm86]

Omg it's a monster


embedded as u want

But we now know that the previous picture didnt have the 28 underneath the cloth.

[McMrocks]

If they present the car in the same room like all the previous years, this is not the new car

[Just_a_fan]

The crease on the sheet looks like the nose has a small step on the top surface quite close to the leading edge.
