McLAREN HAS UNVEILED the car it believes will take it to both the drivers’ and constructors’ world championship, writes Jim McGill. The new McLaren MP4-26 was revealed in Berlin today after the team used an interim MP4-25 during this week’s test in Valencia.
The new McLaren features some interesting concepts, including a long flat high nose, radical, high L-shaped sidepods, and airbox tweaks. The version which was rolled out on to the Berlin street is fitted with a more standard exhaust layout, unlike the Renault version seen in testing at Valencia.
