McLaren: Best Dressed Team In F1 2012?

To give the team its full title, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes will launch their new race car for 2012 in February. The car is known as the MP4-27 (yes, McLaren have a knack for numerically-boring names) and the world will get its first glimpse of it on the first day of the month when it is revealed at the Team’s HQ in Woking, and just 6 days later it will begin its first 4 day test at a race track in Jerez.

Naturally that first test will be very telling. Will this year’s car be faster than the new Red Bull? There have been many changes to the rules and regulations for the 2012 season and every team hopes to capitalise on the changes. Blown diffusers were the controversial feature of 2011 but they will be no more and as a result there will be less downforce. There have also been changes to the regulations concerning the nose of the cars.

However the McLaren designers might have interpreted the new rule changes, one thing of which you can be certain is that the MP4-27 will look great. Although there should be no correlation between how a car looks and how it performs on the track, there does seem to be, and that's been demonstrated in previous seasons. Of course if this is to be McLaren’s year then the 2012 champion will be one of the "best looking drivers" in F1, whether it is Jenson Button or Lewis Hamilton, although Mr Webber is close on their heels.

Which brings us on to mclaren f1 clothing: The 2012 range of Hugo Boss designed McLaren F1 clothing for men, women and kids is the best yet. You can buy a Team T-Shirt as worn throughout last year's season by both Lewis and Jenson and the rest of the team. There are tees, polos, coats and hats, all featuring team logos, along with special collections featuring Jenson and Lewis.

There is also a stylish McLaren lifestyle range of clothing which includes the McLaren Sport collection of tops and jackets and the official premium McLaren collection of up-market jackets and a polo top. To look and stay cool at the wheel you can even accessorise these with a pair of leather hand-crafted McLaren fingerless driving gloves.

Whether this added style will help McLaren rack up the Constructor's Points in 2012 remains to be seen, but at the very least, prepare to see some tasteful outfits from the boys in Woking on SKY and BBC.
