2014 McLaren MP4-29

[Chris Jenkins]

It's not added on to the wishbones, as that would be illegal.

The wishbones are teardrop shaped and are mounted vertically rather than horizontal, which we usually see.

Scarbs did an analysis of it earlier this week

Newey asking questions..... Shoe on other foot now?

 

[Benutzername]

How about that?

or that?

 

[Tony Holder]

Very much doubt McLaren will run any livery connected with a Cigarette company.... might be PINK!!! For Papa Smurf?

of course... i just wanted to say that these noses COULD be covered with nice liverys.

 

[Tony Holder]

What is this bump on the side....

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

Took me a while but there's what i see as a pitot tube in front of it. Those small holes either balances some airflow or are measuring pressure in some form. It measures the air speed. Why is it that bulb so large, haven't got a clue, pitot tube doesn't require any extra structures, just stick it in. This certainly ruins any measurements after it.

This car is my tip to win the world championship. I'd rather say it now than too far down the line. Strangely, I feel like magnussen is more likely to win the title than button, mightily impressed with him.

 

[Chris Jenkins]

Magnussen is 12/1 to win in Australia.
Worth a cheeky bet!

Strangely Vettel is still 3/1, joint favourite with Hamilton. Don't see that happening!

im not a betting man but i bet you could get some funky odds on number of race finishers. i have this strange feeling a record will be broken! (and a lot of engines)

 

[Tony Holder]

Kmax is impressing...

 

[SK Racing]

How about that?

You can't believe how much I would LOVE to see this livery in 2014. Especially as a homage to the beginning (and ending) of McLaren-Mercedes era...

However, there are definitely changes regarding the livery:

What are the odds of having Jenson and Kevin on the side pods.

 

[Chris Jenkins]

I think they'll have McLaren logos on the sides as they don't have the orange 'boomerang' logos on the tops any more

 

[Leonardo Chaves]

It's better than writing MP4-29 on the sidepods...
But i would like a "Jenson" version better personally.

 

[Tony Holder]

We shall see.......

RedBull having 'Green Flag' on their side pods?

the "booerang" logo is the logo of McLaren, i dont think they will be removed.

 

[Chris Jenkins]

I know what it is, but it's not on the tops of the side pods in the pics shown this week.

Which is what makes me think it'll be oh the sides instead.

Most sponsors and logos are just stickers. The pictures could be actual paint, the logos could be a sticker which werent on it at that moment.

I'm sure they'd be stuck on before Tuesday in the Pitlane at Melbourne, but hey we'll see on Friday
