Rumours rife as McLaren pushes foward launch date

McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh is hoping to avoid any embarrassment when his team's new car makes its debut in February. Unusually, McLaren will be one of the last teams to launch ahead of the new season, with its planned reveal scheduled for February 4 in Berlin - after the first test in Valencia that same week.
That has prompted speculation from a number of its rivals that the team might have a trick up its sleeve they want none of the others to see at the Ricardo Tormo circuit over February 1-3.
Whitmarsh, however, maintains it’s nothing as sinister as that. He said: “The car is on schedule, and that is to launch on February 4, ahead of the second test at Jerez, from February 10-13.McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh is hoping to avoid any embarrassment when his team's new car makes its debut in February.
