Disappointment reigns after modest McLaren launch: "Is this it?!"

McLaren have presented their new car for the 2024 Formula 1 season, the MCL38, through a video. The livery was already known, but it has now actually been applied to Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri's new F1 car. There is a feeling of disappointment on the internet: many fans had expected more from the unveiling.
