The Grove-based squad, which finished last in the 2020 constructors’ championship, is set to present its new car to the world on 5 March.Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); FIRST LOOK: See McLaren’s new Mercedes-powered MCL35M F1 car on trackaccImages.createImage(); F1 Gossip: Hulkenberg set for return?
