Under the skin of the McLaren MP4-28

McLaren's MP4-28 might have looked very familiar to the casual observer, but as AUTOSPORT's technical expert Craig Scarborough reveals, the design is a comprehensive change from the 2012 model

Despite team boss Martin Whitmarsh's talk of evolution and the outwardly similar appearance to the 2012 car - at least to the casual spectator - the MP4-28 sports many new solutions based on ideas from McLaren's rivals and has had a huge amount of time and attention spent on its details.
