McLaren is the second team to announce the date for the launch of the new car. The MCL35M is the successor to the MCL35 with the Mercedes engine as the biggest addition.

February is, as usual, marked by the launches for the new Formula One cars before the teams head to pre-season testing.

After Alfa Romeo announced the date to present the new C41 on Monday February 22nd, McLaren is even closer. The day after Valentine's Day, February 15, McLaren will unveil the new car which will be raced in 2021. The biggest improvement is probably the engine.

After a cooperation of three years, the partnership with Renault has ended and McLaren have chosen to race with Mercedes engines in 2021. For this they got permission from the FIA, because some things had to be changed on the car. We will see how that looks like on 15 February.
