No, no....the news is that McLaren intended to run solo on barcelona on monday, so they could run the new car, but BMW is going to test from monday to wednesday, so they decided to run it today with DLR. later on the week, Kimi and Montoya will test it, plus they'll have a whole week there, from monday to friday, and i think that says even more. But in Spain, the news is that Pedro will drive the new car today!!!

Looks like a mp4-20 with a terrible ugly nose.

ewww yeah that looks disgusting. kind of like an mp4-19 and mp4-20 nose splashed into one. the 20 looked lovely, 19 was acceptable, but this one is horrible!! hope it's fast though.

Ugh, such a shame about that nose because the rest of the car looks very nice indeed. But the nose... anorexia is a horribly afflicting disease.

Maybe with the original livery it looks better. Only to hope they will have the original livery. But in the end, when it's fast, i will like it anyway.

the rear wing looks alot lower. there is a max hight for the rear wing not sure about a rule for a low rear wing.

Think it looks ok the nose will take some time to get used to

yes know what u mean just lower but it has the renault pinch if u know what i mean

The side pods dont look much different i mean the inlet part of them.

The main changes i can see is the nose, the front and rear susspension
