2010 McLaren MP4-25 F1 Car Unveiled

RENAULT ISN'T THE only F1 team pulling the curtains back today, with British outfit McLaren revealing the 2010 McLaren MP4-25 this week.

With 2008 champion Lewis Hamilton and 2009 champion Jenson Button on hand, McLaren revealed the new racer in a ceremony at its Woking, UK headquarters.

Bearing the same silver and fluorescent Vodafone red of previous years, the MP4-25 features a slightly longer wheelbase and a new 'shark fin' engine cover.

Despite reports suggesting a ban from 2011, the McLaren MP4-25C features the infamous double diffuser design at the rear, along with many of its opponents in 2010.

Another new aerodynamics element is the dorsal fin through the centre of the rear wing.

While no longer a paired outfit, the McLaren team still utilises a 2.4 litre V8 Mercedes-supplied powerplant.
