This may well be a hint that the team are going for their usual tri-colored car for the upcoming 2021 season. However, the possibilities of some minor tweaks in design cannot be neglected.
McLaren have been under the limelight since mid-way through the 2020 season. The British team announced that they would be joining hands with Mercedes after six long years. Thus, considering their past success story, the expectations from McLaren have been rocketing high.
Amid such massive hype, McLaren made sure it did not die down and added more fuel into it. Following the post on Monday, the team followed up with yet another image the same day.
Aston Martin responds to the livery hype set by McLaren
In the latter image posted by McLaren, it portrayed the interior of the McLaren Technology Centre, where frosted glasses were installed to hide the MCL35M from public view.
“You know it’s about to get real when the frosted glass goes up at the MTC,” the team captioned it. Their mid-field rivals, Aston Martin, looked rather eager to take a look at that 2021 car built by them.
