But they've covered up the nose step - here's what it looks like uncovered. http://t.co/XjOS11TV

You see, I think that this stepped nose could have been left there, knowing the press is there.

What you see isn't 'what' you'll see....

 

[Tony Holder]

totally. expect nothing.
.

Expect more.

 

[Dmitry Zaharov]

New and old one

That is pretty high chassis, the highest of 5 last McLaren cars. So this time Button will not benefit from better visibility.

 

[Diego Lopez]

Expect more.

hmmm being overhyped after Italy and Malaysia and Canada....dont think so. Look at how poor he did afterwards.

not saying he is bad...but we'll see.

I dont get it, why keep this chrome crap.

go back to the 200s Mclaren. that was beast at its best. (if only c-west was around)

when asked why McLaren chose to make such big design changes in certain areas rather than simply make an evolution of the car from last year, McLaren engineering director Tim Goss said that there was a fear that the car from last year was reaching a development ceiling.

"We looked at our performance during last season, in the stages where we were laying down the foundations of this car, and looked at where we thought we would get to in terms of our development rate if we just kept continuing with developing the same car," he said. "We realised we actually needed to make a larger step."

interesting technical analysis by James Allen and Mark Gillan, even if it is replete with spelling and typographical errors

A very beautiful car the new MP4/28, it should be fast too considering it is an evolution from last year. Although they kept some of the strong points from the MP4/27, innovation and the development race seem to be the agenda for the team. I do hope that they addressed last years poor reliability and make some close racing with red bull and Ferrari for the championship.

Yes please bud

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Front wing endplate, old vs new.

new bargeboards, now not going over the sidepod.

New sidepods and floor i think as well.

 

[Tony Holder]

The bargeboards looked tied on...

So as Mclaren are having a rough 2013 season so far, the good thing about this you can take away is the fact that there has been no mechanical failure's so far in the races
