The 2015 McLaren Honda Is A Throwback To When F1 Cars Weren't Hideous
The 2015 McLaren Honda Is A Throwback To When F1 Cars Weren't Hideous-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:46

After over 20 years, . This is the MP4-30, the 2015 car that's getting one of the most successful partnerships in F1 back together.

There's only so much you can get from these images so I'll outline what to look for:

oh man the liveryoh man it says Honda on the side for realoh man McLaren Honda is back

Actually, there are a few interesting things to note. The first is that Fernando Alonso is joining Jenson Button to drive the car (though you already knew that). The second is that the penis nose is gone in favor of a long, low front. The third is that seriously it says Honda! McLaren-Honda is back!

The great managed to extract some pieces of information out of these four press-release images, which is much more than I can discern. It appears that the layout is largely similar to last year's car, only with the new nose and a much cleaner, simpler, rear end.

Here is the painfully backwards-looking launch video from McLaren.

I can't wait to see this thing in action.

The 300 HP Fiat Abarth 124 Rally Car Better Not Break My Heart
Fiat claims it will race this 300 horsepower, rear-drive hardtop in 2017. Don’t you dare lie to me, Fiat. This car is too good and my heart is too tender. The car’s stats are pretty lustworthy: it has been stripped and caged, with an interior covered in Alcantara. The car...
