Formula 1
McLaren has launched the MCL36, live from the famous McLaren Technology Centre.
As we are used to the MCL36 is very different from the 2021 car due to the new regulations. The livery switches between grey, neon blue and papaya with Velo branding being quite noticeable.
If the MCL36, that is being shown at the launch is the car, then it is different from the Aston Martin AMR 22, the biggest difference is the lack of vents along the top of the sidepods on the MCL36.
