McLaren MP4-30 launch video

The McLaren MP4-30 has been unveiled online via a launch video from the team.

Following much speculation, the video shows the Honda-powered 2015 car will feature a chrome, black and red livery, with a redesigned nose which extends beyond the front wing. McLaren ran without a title sponsor in 2014 and has yet to complete a deal for the new season.

The car will be driven by Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button in 2015, with Kevin Magnussen demoted to third driver after making his debut for McLaren last season. Alonso will be first to drive the car when pre-season testing begins at Jerez on February 1.

The launch video of the new car can be viewed below.
