I will be amazed if McLaren don't change there nose design during the whole season, something similar to the toro rosso design but not the same.

Is that a fact or speculation?

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Button says the Honda-powered MP4-30 has the basic traits of a winning car minus the necessary downforce.
"I feel that this is a good start but we don't have enough downforce to fight with Mercedes or even a couple of the other teams," he said. "But the basic philosophy and idea of the aerodynamics and how it works is definitely right. I haven't driven a McLaren like this before, not in the way that it works.
"I'm not saying it's the quickest McLaren I have ever driven, because it's not, but in the way that it works the basic car is very good and it means we can build on it. The airflow will be very clean, so basically we can just add downforce. Beforehand [on last year's car] you would add downforce and it would really change the characteristics of the car, so it's a more consistent car in terms of balance. But as I said, it still needs a lot of work to be competitive.

"Last year you had a lot of downforce when you turned in and hit the brakes but you lost all downforce at the apex. This car is very different, it does what you hope it will do, which is very important for myself and also for Fernando as far as I can see. Looking at the data, Fernando and I like very similar cars and it does the right thing, it's just whether we have enough downforce."
