McLaren have revealed their latest F1 contender.
The MP4-27 is the car the team hope will allow Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton to compete for the championship in 2012.
"As you can see, this is a beautiful car. Many you see will not be. I'm very excited," said Button, runner-up in last year's
championships, during the launch. "This is the moment we see how hard we
have all been working. It's a very exciting day"."These guys have been flat out since we finished racing in 2011 on improving the car as much as they could in the simulator and I'm looking forward to getting out in it at Jerez".
"I am sure everyone is apprehensive when you start testing and I cannot wait to jump in the car."
Hamilton added: "I think it is fantastic. It's great to be here after a great winter. Seeing hard work going into building this car is inspiring. It is most refined-looking car we have had for some time so we are looking forward to getting back in it."
McLaren finished second in the championship for the last two years, and so have the numbers three and four on their cars once again.
Test driver Oliver Turvey will be first to drive the car at Jerez next week.
