McLaren MP4-30 Pre-launch Speculation

[mikeerfol]

McLaren have just tweeted a picture of the MP46. They are dragging this out for all it's worth. They won't have launched the car at midnight as it would lessen the impact in terms of PR. I can understand why they are teasing and have not said what time they car is be unveiled. Ramps up anticipation and media attention. Still frustrating though

Well it's the first McLaren-Honda since 1992 so we understand why they do this but as you said, it's still frustrating

You will get enough PR for a 2015 McLaren-Honda even if they release it on Pluto!

They must be really confident that everyone is going to be utterly blown away by the car and livery, otherwise they're treading a dangerous path with all this mp4-4 and mp4-6 imagery.

really hoping this doesn't turn out like the /21 launch, so much god damn hype that it was going to blow the socks off the competition and it just looked like a 20 with a new front nose cone.

[SectorOne]

so when is the launch?

[chumma]

13mins I think

[j2004p]

13mins I think

Is this going to happen every hour until it actually happens?

Word is that Ron Dennis is overruling the atom clock, stating it's not accurate enough to his liking.

[chumma]

Oh my god....I finally get it. Ron Dennis is time. The Creator.

[poolboy67]

from now on, i will refer all OCD people as ron dennis. because ron dennis is more relevant than ocd.

So i've wasted my lunchbreak to discover the presentation is not at 12.00 but @ 13.00 dammit and now i've got to get back to work

damm u, Mclaren! damm u! you better deliver with the presentation! I want to see either a all-black beauty, an orange-beauty, the actual thing red-white, OR you can satisfy me if it's actually the Tumbler from Batman and they're really going to run that thing

This is harder to figure out than the movie Interstellar!

Ron Dennis was even more bullish, declaring: “I can safely say…that we now have by an order of magnitude the best driver line-up of any current Formula 1 team.”

Stop toying with us Ron!
