Lewis and co lighten up a bit
McLaren have put together this tongue-in-cheek video ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix. Team CEO Martin Whitmarsh is the Ricky Gervais wannabe holding it together for this mini-mockumentary (well, it’s not very far from Slough to Woking). In a thinly-veiled swipe at the decision to hold the Singapore race at night, McLaren engineers are featuring fitting an enormous set of headlights to the front of the car… and then checking they work on dipped too!We are not convinced they are quite as aerodynamic as the rest of the car.
