Considering all of the doom sayers predictions of ugly front ends this year I think that's a fine looking car!

Apart from the fact it quite obviously has a penis modelled on to the front of it.

Good to see JB there, overalls look a bit sparse

Side profile of these cars looks sooooooo good, but as soon as you see the front, Jeeeesus Christ :/

Looks better from some angles than others, I'll admit. The front-on shot isn't a good angle, that 3-quarter view is a lot better.

Looks stunning, all of her, apart from the nose at the very front.

Looks quick though!

I need to find the guy in IT that decided on that plug in.

Finger nose!

And what's with the car name being plastered on the livery, have Mclaren become HRT? Definitely a launch spec I presume?

They've done it before. The pre-West announcement MP4-12 had the name all over it too.

Well internally yes, and its working fine, I am not dealing with anything external.

edit

Not live, pre recorded interviews.

I would love to see a side by side comparison between this and last years car.
Mainly because I would like to know how much fatter the rear has gotten. Looks pretty fat towards the rear suspension. And those side pods look enormous!

Videos are working now

Glad the boss loves Mclaren, getting to watch it at work. How long delay do we know?

All the videos that are failing on the official website are on the youtube channel.

Servers are getting smashed.
