Racecar Engineering writeup. Seems they won't post the leaked Pictures. Maybe with good reason, Autosport hasn't published them either yet.

its the center of the car around the low part of the airbox, if you see this pic from last year, the head protection ends

now the head protection, even being higher this year, continues/flows into the engine cover, thats significant more room around the PU

Oh now I see. I think they gave Honda more space on the top and less on the bottom, maybe it's for both cooling and aerodinamic reasons.

I'm impressed by the guys at F1Fanatic. Don't know how, but they outsmarted McLaren.

Anyways, here's to the car that will hopefully wash away the demons of 2015 and hopefully chill around midfield for the first part of 2016.

That Video is friggin amazing. Looks like a huge Undercut in the Front too. Also 4 instead of 2 Slots in the RW Endplate.

I think they simply broke the embargo.

Looking at the photo of the switching profiles between last year and this, the entire angle of attack of the new car is now wedge like. The front end drops in its approach and the rear is lifted. Really nice sculpting from PP.

McLaren must do immediately something with livery ...is easily the ugly think on this car....and probably on grid....

i like the new front of the car .....and i think all air intakes are bit smaller.....new rear red bull style.....

and again the livery its so bad......more bad even worse honda 2015 PU......

Top wishbone at the front is very high, added an extra brake duct at the front, also cut a hole in the front wing pylons.

Like the new nose.

Hope they will change the livery. It looks boring

Please keep the Livery Talk out of this Thread. Thanks.

Also on Topic. Some stills from the Video. https://twitter.com/AlbertFabrega/statu ... 5794427904 Did they pull a Toro Rosso and mount the RW Pylon through the Exhaust?

I like the new car, to my eye is a MP4-30B but who cares, they need a stable and well know platform to build this season and this car is just that. My favorite part is the new front wing, dam what a sexy one! =D>

its going to be a hell telling the drivers while car is moving...helmets are the same.
