HONDA UNVEILS NEW F1 CAR

McLaren Honda unveil new F1 car as they look to put terrible last term behind them

• On Sunday, McLaren Honda revealed its brand-new Formula 1 challenger
• The MP4-31 will go through the first all-team test in Barcelona on Monday 
• The new car incorporates a significant number of all-new innovations
• 
• McLaren, who last year endured a dreadful campaign, lifted the lid on their new Formula 1 car ahead of Monday's first winter test.
  The famous British team cobbled together a paltry 27 points last term following their renewed relationship with Japanese manufacturer, Honda.
  And speaking on the eve of the first test, McLaren, sporting a moody black livery, noticeably steered clear of making any outlandish predictions for the new campaign.
  
  
• Jenson Button, who put his retirement plans on hold to enter a 17th Formula One campaign, said: 'Despite the ups and downs we saw last year, there were steady improvements all year long, and that gives us confidence in the design direction we're taking.
  'There are a lot of positives we can build on, and a strong platform to take forward.
  'I'm not about to make any over-optimistic predictions - Formula One is far too unpredictable for me to do that - but, from what I've seen so far, the aero detailing on the car looks fantastic.'
  
  
  

Ron Dennis, the team's chairman, added: 'As we embark on the second year of our renewed McLaren-Honda partnership, all of us remain united in our purpose. That purpose is to develop our team towards our shared ambition: to win.

'We'll make no predictions as to when those wins will come, but I can say without fear of contradiction that every member of our team has worked with truly relentless dedication over the past few months.'
