The MP4-26 was revealed in Berlin on Feb 4th. The car has yet to be on track, they are scheduled to test at the
Jerez circuit in Spain begining on Feb 10.
Let me start off by saying in my opinion this is the best looking chassis so far. It is interesting that the two most refined designs are both Mercedes powered yet look nothing alike.
Please visit the
McLaren web site where they have built a 3D simulation of the car. At
F1.com they have even more pictures that are available only to the F1.com site.
The most telling feature of this car are the amount of cooling intakes the car has for its various components. They are placed and designed with genius. From head on you can see the natural channel the air will take through, around and under the car. I am very interested to see if the channels design affects cars behind it in drafting and on track racing.
