Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 podcast with Matt and Tommy.

Thick and fast is what the podcasts are into your ears and eyes if you watch on YouTube.

Because we got car launches McGee.

We got three technically in the UK time zone. We of course had Cadillac. We're now talking about McLaren. And we're going to have Aston Martin or the Lawrence Stroll launch later, which I'm thoroughly looking forward to. I've got my popcorn. Might even have to have my three-course dinner to get through Lawrence Stroll talking about himself and Aston Martin. Yeah, it's Aston Martin next, and we had an equally long McLaren car launch, didn't we? We were talking about, I think you kind of maybe regretted saying McLaren always cook with their car launch, and then when they announced 40 minutes. I'm sorry. Was it long, or was it... It wasn't the worst. It wasn't the worst. I don't think... I think it just felt long or was it they didn't it wasn't the worst it wasn't the worst i don't think i think

it just felt long because mcclaren usually you know they do it in their amazing technology center

they have fans involved they're they're quite fun with it right and and this one felt like a paid

master card talking for like 40 minutes instead. Well we turned off they may well be going with

yeah true CEO but look it was it was an interesting one right they they held it in the garage

which is a I guess a coolish backdrop but there was no one there

and they had these walkouts which felt you know that is your actual worst nightmare isn't it

of having a walkout with the silence was so loud there's no audience why are we having walkouts guys

like they could just come to the sofa it's no problem um but yeah i don't was that long. I think it was more of the fact that it just felt a little bit stale in comparison to maybe some McLaren car launches in the past. We'll get on to a bit more of that because there's plenty of things to touch upon with the McLaren team launch, not car launch. But let's talk about the livery, shall we? The livery from last year that's slightly tweaked, but not by much, even less so than what I initially thought when I first saw it released today. I'm a fan of the McLaren livery in general. I think maybe last year I felt like there was a little bit
