Reading that, it mentions the MP4/26. They mentioned in Canada they would have a "new" car for Silverstone, surely they're not moving onto the MP4/26 that quickly? I'd expect that car to be the 2011 machine, so I'm guessing its an autosport typo, but just wondering. If they do have a radically different car at Silverstone, would it be more in keeping with McLaren tradition if they call it MP4/25B?

Apologies if this makes little sense, blame little sleep, replacement of little sleep with energy drink and coffee, and a few after work beers

I probably missed it but i don't see anything mentioned there about a new car, i heard something similar whilst watching the GP but i presumed it was just a package that was alot different to the one they have now thus making it a "new" car.

Autosport typo. Not the first and it won't be the last.

Talking about a "major upgrade package for the MP4-26".
