It already has that. Well, the buildings aren't all that fancy, but they're modern.

Not sure if that's the new McLaren, the nose looks "casual". Any sources confirming this pic?

Seems like a harsh sentence for Sutil when it appears it was Lux who started it.

Looks like even a comeback in 2013 might be difficult...

Quote:
McLaren are reportedly braced for a fight over the legality of the new MP4-27 when their 2012 car is unveiled on Wednesday.

The Woking squad have targeted a fast start with their latest challenger in a bid to take on World Champions Red Bull from the first race in 2012 having been forced to play catch-up in recent seasons.

Speaking a day ahead of the launch of the MP4-27 on the team's official website, McLaren's Geoff McGrath, the managing director of the outfit's Applied Technologies arm, said the innovative element of the new design would be clear to see from the outset - and is expected to prompt protests from rivals.

"There are technical innovations on the car which will be immediately obvious when you see them," McGrath told Autosport.

He added that the team are "getting ready for a fight" over the MP4-27, with Autosport suggesting that McLaren's new car is designed to improve their qualifying performance in 2012 so that they can control races from the front.

McLaren had initially taken an innovative approach with the exhaust system on last year's MP4-26 but were forced to revert to a more conventional layout from the first race after their pre-season testing programme was beset by unreliability.

Team principal Martin Whitmarsh stressed, however, towards the end of last year that their design team had been encouraged to take a more aggressive approach for 2012, and McGrath says that McLaren are determined to take the fight to RBR from the off.

"We've started way behind in the last couple of years - that's the really disappointing thing," he added.

"But when we're behind, you can see that historically we always catch up faster than anyone else."

McLaren will unveil the eagerly-anticipated MP4-27 from 11am - with the launch covered live on Sky Sports.com/F1.

Surprised McLaren haven't had that one taken down too...

For those who don't know, it has been a funny day at the Haymarket offices as Autosport put up an article with most of the same information as in this article, but with added quotes from McGrath which amounted to him admitting that the McLaren needs to be the fastest car by as much as half a second because Vettel is simply that much better than Lewis and Jenson.

This article was later removed, presumably under pressure from the team.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.
