  McLaren Pimps Kimi's Ride!

OK, I'm a bit late with this one, but I couldn't resist putting this together when I saw the new McLaren livery featuring enough chrome to impress even the most fly 'G' :)

McLaren claim to have been working on this special chrome paint finish for six months in order to make it suitable for Formula 1 cars. Mercedes did use it last year on Alesi's DTM car, but I guess this could be a different technology. Anyway it looks more interesting than the metallic grey they've been using in place of a real silver effect.

Now we just wait for the other team's drivers to complain about being blinded by the reflections from it....

Kimi might wonder if McLaren could have been doing more to help Mercedes with their engine problems while they were perfecting their chrome finish !!

I stick by my claim that it’ll be a McSplosive this season albeit a very pretty one :)
