How much is McLaren hiding with its launch-spec car?
The launch-spec McLaren MCL35 looks to have held back in areas that are expected to be crucial for development in 2020. But it points to a quiet confidence that the team can continue its upward trajectory and recapture its Formula 1 glory days of old
Having arrested its descent down the Formula 1 grid with an impressive 2019 season, McLaren begins 2020 with renewed vigour and a refreshed paint scheme to kick off the new year.
Conforming to F1's current trends and daubing its MCL35 with a matte papaya finish, McLaren has also upped the amount of blue areas adorning its reworked livery, ditching the tessellating triangles for something more befitting of the car's lines.
