Lando is right. This needs to be "the" livery. This is actually quite cool and of course it works with the marketing being "Google Chrome." Love to see the behind the scenes and learn more about how teams do the things they do. Great stuff!

@rachelkoiks 11 ай бұрын

Yeah but weight *is* a factor and so is the agreements among the sponsors. I’m sure they wanna be seen easily like white on black instead of “I Spy” on shiny silver metallic bodywork. That’s why the Mclaren doesn’t have the kindles for this race. Saves a few grams i suppose. I’m not an aerodynamicist but I agree, I think some more chrome in certain spots would’ve been nice but only if it’ll help with performance. Otherwise keep it limited and let Lando be chromed out on his helmet so he’ll be happy 😂

@Shapershift 11 ай бұрын

@@tommygately8461 Well, for many people, growing up, the silver and red McLaren is the one that they saw awesome moments of McLaren history. Hakkinen, Hamilton, Coulthard. Just like some people grew up seeing the white and red of Senna. If you're going to do a homage about past achievements, you have to go all the way. Sure, I don't expect them to sign a one-off deal with Vodafone or West to add the red, but come on, one single race with some shade of red instead of papaya won't destroy their brand.

@Mobi666 11 ай бұрын

I don't hate the orange/papaya, but I hate the look of this car, for me it's an ugly mix of carbon/black, orange and chrome. They should have done the entire car in chrome, and then maybe the pinstripes in orange instead of vodaphone red similar to the 2007 design

I believe Red Bull (Mercedes might use it as well) are the only team on grid that still use paint. Adrian Newey insists that although vinyl is lighter, paint still has an aerodynamic advantage which more than makes up for the weight.

Having been an automotive painter for a few years, it amazes me that they paint all their parts the traditional way. The amount of microns is a lot higher than by automated paint machines. And since it's all about weigh, filler, primer, paint and clear coat, that's a lot of weight, even considering very experienced painters. I'm shocked.
