McLaren launches the MP4-27
McLaren has launched its 2012 car - the MP4-27 - at the McLaren Technology Centre.
The car is an evolution of the MP4-26 which took six victories in 2011, with the team hoping to close the gap to Red Bull this year. The car features a different front end solution to the Caterham that was launched last week, with a gradual transition between the lower nose and chassis. The sculpted sidepods that were prominent on the MP4-26 have also been redesigned, while the car features a neater rear end than the 2011 car.
Lewis Hamilton admitted that the rear end was designed to try and compensate from the loss of downforce due to the banning the exhaust-blown diffuser.
"It's much trickier to drive as it is right now," Hamilton said. "But as we get closer to the season I'm sure we'll find where that downforce can come from."
The new car will be driven for the first time by Oliver Turvey during a straigh-line test ahead of its track debut on Tuesday at the first pre-season test in Jerez, with Jenson Button at the wheel for the first two days before handing over to Lewis Hamilton. |
