Although I work for @McLarenF1 , I’ve not been involved in the design of the new car. So I feel like I can openly help fans understand the technical differences between our car and the Aston Martin, with an insider, engineer’s perspective… 🧵 #F1

On Lando’s 22nd birthday - I think we should all spend a minute thinking about one of the most talented, nicest, funny and smart drivers I have certainly worked with. So please think about Pastor Maldonado for a minute or two and then wish @LandoNorris a very happy birthday. 🎉

I would say the main difference between the cars is the colour, the McLaren is orange (‘papaya’ is the technical term) and the Aston Martin is a shade of what us experts like to call ‘green’. As for the rest they’re pretty much the same, both have wings, engine and a cockpit. 🔚

2022 Sporting Regulations are ‘published’ now - so I can share the main changes for 2022. The biggest change is that cars making Q3 no longer have to start on the tyre they set the fastest time on in Q2 - ie free start tyre choice for the race for all. 🧵 #F1
