McLaren’s striking new Mercedes-powered MCL36 is a real statement of intent from a team that’s working its way back towards the front in Formula 1.
Not only does it have a sleek new look, with the classic McLaren papaya blended with flashes of blue, but as a result of some bold technical decisions it is the first 2022 car we’ve seen so far that has switched to pullrod front suspension. And it’s gone the other way at the rear, switching to the pushrod design.
The car was launched online, but The Race has also had the chance to take a look at the car in person and talk with both the drivers and senior team personnel – including technical director James Key.
With the help of our technical expert Gary Anderson and illustrator Rosario Giuliana, our latest video takes a look at the latest creation from one of F1’s most famous teams.
