McLaren MCL35M F1 Race Car Launch - Stop Press - 15 February 2021

McLaren has made the radical change from a Renault to a Mercedes engine to power its new 2121 MCL35M F1 race car. This has meant they had to do almost a clean sweep design to the whole car as an engine forms the core design feature of each F1 race car.

"Whereas every other team will carry over most of its car from last year into this year, our switch to the Mercedes power unit means that’s not the case for us,” said McLaren production director Piers Thynne.

“It’s driven a huge amount of change and, essentially, we’ve been building a new car. The number of new parts on the MCL35M is about the same as when we built the MCL35.”
