McLaren pulled the wraps off their new car amid speculation about Eric Boullier's arrival

McLaren have pulled the wraps off their 2014 car, although the MP4-29's unveiling was completely overshadowed by speculation that Eric Boullier will take over from Martin Whitmarsh as Team Principal.

In a sense, 2014 represents an interim season for McLaren. Besides the uncertainty at the helm, they have no title sponsor and are seeing out the final year of their Mercedes deal before switching back to Honda power. Michael insisted, however, that "the future for McLaren is bright, and we're now putting in place the processes that will move us closer to our goals. "For 2014, our aim is for continuous development; we'll be refining and strengthening the car and the organisation throughout the year, so you'll see a rapid turnover of parts and ideas on the car as we, like every team, wrestle with the many unique challenges of these new regulations." The Sky Sports F1 Online team will be providing live commentary of all three winter tests, starting in Jerez on Tuesday January 28, with live updates from trackside also on Sky Sports News.
