2014 McLaren MP4-29

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

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

What is this bump on the side....

Kennett Ylitalo · Feb 19, 2014

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.

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)

Kmax is impressing...

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 · Mar 12, 2014

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

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

Tony Holder · Mar 12, 2014

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.

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.
