McLaren-Honda has been teasing “exciting changes” about its latest challenger - the MCL32 - for several weeks, ranging from a throwback orange livery to Honda’s ‘high risk’ power unit design.

But has the Woking-based team been caught out at its own game after a series of pictures that were presented as leaks of the much-anticipated MCL32 popped up across social media earlier this week?

The images actually come from a video that has surfaced online and can be found below:

In the world of alternative facts we now live in, McLaren moved quickly to set the record straight and remind its 2017-spec charger will be unveiled in one week's time, on February 24.


Whether the rendered images are genuine or not, they look incredibly convincing, don’t you think?
