Mclaren MCL36 - 2022 Fomula One

McLaren have revealed the car they hope will push them closer towards becoming World Championship contenders with a live show from their factory in Woking.

 

The MCL36, which will be driven by Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo, is built to revolutionary new technical rules and features a new livery that marries papaya orange with a new shade of blue.

 

McLaren finished fourth in the constructors’ championship last year after a campaign that yielded their first win since 2012, through Ricciardo at Monza and the only one-two finish of the year with Norris following him home.

 

Their points tally was their highest since 2012, while their relative performance demonstrated they had closed the gap to pace-setters Mercedes and Red Bull. The target is to continue that upward trajectory.

 

Though LEGO released a large Technic Formula One Mclaren Racer earlier this month, they did so using the livery used for 2021.

 

This is my first contemporary Formula One racer for six years. I thought it would be a good idea to assess the current dimension package for the type. Suffice to say I was rather surprised at how large they have grown. Notably in wheelbase and overall length. The season 2022 changes also see an increase in the size of the wheels from 13 inch to 18 inch and a significant increase in the rolling diameter of the tires as well.
