(McLaren Honda)
The McLaren Honda MP4-30 will not feature a new livery at
this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix despite reports to the contrary.
Paddock Eye understands that the current charcoal and red
look of the car will remain the colours of the cars driven by Jenson Button and
Fernando Alonso. The Woking based outfit head to the Barcelona Circuit De
Catalunya, the scene of Alonso’s accident that ruled him out of the opening
race of the season in Australia.
The outfit will be hoping that the new power unit upgrade
from Honda and the updates to the MP4-30 chassis will help them to score points
in Spain. The team have yet to score points this season following a tough start
to the season.
However Fernando Alonso came very close to doing just that
in Bahrain last time out as the Spaniard finished the race in eleventh place
while Jenson Button failed to start the race.
McLaren Technology Group Chairman Ron Dennis stated earlier
this year that the team would indeed have a new livery at some point in the
season but it will not be at the weekend’s European season opener in Spain.
