Though a glitzy affair to launch a new formula one car is nothing alien to formula one teams Mclaren made sure they walked away with the top honors this time around. The Woking based team made sure that they gave a fitting welcome both to their new machinery and their new driver line-up that included that double World Champion Fernando Alsonso. Mclaren launched their new MP-4 22 and the team is mighty expectant this time around with the past few seasons being forgetful at best. More often than not it wasn’t the performance of the cars but their reliability that became the issue.
But with the new MP-4 22 Vodafone Mclaren Mercedes as the team is called now are set to turn a new in their quest for the World and Driver’s Championship something that has eluded them since the days of Mika Hakkinen. With a line-up that boasts of double world champion Fernando Alonso and rookie yet super quick Lewis Hamilton.
Fernando has been riding a crest of success that Mclaren hope would continue as he makes a switch from last years champions Renault. Hamilton meanwhile is a G-22 winner and would also become the first colored driver in F1come this march. Though confident Fernando is equally conscious of the fact that though he could be two time defending champion nevertheless when the green lights go at Bahrain it would be a new year, new race where every one would start with a clean sheet and most importantly for him personally it would be a new team.
