The McLaren MCL35 is a planned Formula One car constructed by McLaren to compete in the 2020 Formula One World Championship. The MCL35 is expected to be the last McLaren car to be fitted with a Renault engine as McLaren will revert to Mercedes engines from 2021.[1] The car will once again be driven by Carlos Sainz Jr. and Lando Norris, for their second year with the team.[2]
McLaren have stated that little design would be carried over from the cars predecessor, the MCL34, with the car being designed as a new 'concept'.[3][4]
The MCL35 is expected to feature a change in livery design due to McLaren's increased partnership with British American Tobacco.[5][6]
Design and development[edit]
James Key was named as the project lead, after joining McLaren in 2019.[7][8] McLaren confirmed in February 2019 that Fernando Alonso would test the MCL35 as part of his McLaren Ambassador role.[9][10]
During a press conference at the 2019 Mexican Grand Prix, Seidl stated that the aim of the MCL35 was to close the gap to the top three teams to under one second.[8][11]
In October team principal Andreas Seidl stated very little of the MCL34 would be carried over to the MCL35,[12] reflecting the change in design philosophy.[8] Marco Canseco, a motorsport journalist, has pointed to changes tested in 2019 as an indication of Key moving the MCL35 closer to the rear design seen on the RB15 and STR14, which would improve the car's cornering ability without affecting straight line speed.[13]
