McLaren MCL33 Speculation thread

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.

Could be. Maybe a suspension arm, or LE of the FW with a reflective surface beneath it.

With Renault engines for the 2018 season, McLaren will be a very different car from last year's model. But the innovations in the Woking team do not end there. According to the boss of the team, Zak Brown, in addition to the car, the team's brand will also undergo radical visual changes.

- The car will not be the same as last year. Our entire brand, the face of McLaren, will rise to a new level. And it will be fantastic. We already know how some teams will look, but hopefully the biggest changes seen, on and off the track, is when McLaren arrives in Australia.

Brown, who took over the team in place of Ron Dennis, has always been open to change. No wonder, it was the American who rescued the orange - with classic McLaren - in the cars of the team in 2017. It was also the project of Zak Fernando Alonso's participation in the 500 Miles. And if it depends on the manager, the team, which has been bitter for years at the bottom of the table, will return to be reference in the paddock, either in results or in the visual.

"One of the things we have not done in recent years is leading. Looking at our garage and everything, we look like everyone else. So we need to change that to be the people in Australia where everyone looks and says, "Did you see what McLaren did?" This is part of McLaren. With the lack of competitiveness, we end up becoming more of the same. We need to go back to being a team that people envy. I feel we are on the way.

Brown also commented on the possibility of the 2018 car appearing in the classic papaya orange, as he used in the Indy 500 model, noting that this depends on the team's main sponsor.

- You will have something of our history, but we have not finished design yet because we depend on the sponsor issue.

It is noteworthy that the British team has not yet set the launch date of the car this season.

I got suspicious of the green when i saw the mclaren homepage with the same liveried classic in full view.

i'm saying it. green-yellow mclaren, with some white elements, as does the fuel stations of PetroBras has.

I wouldnt put too much into it, the did the same last year, posting a lot of the old white/red classics making people hope for the return of the white/red livery.

If they change, I personally think they will go black/white

actually, that was the year before that, when we were disappointed in a black mclaren.
