Coming off a third place finish in 2009 behind Brawn GP and Red Bull Racing, the Woking-based outfit hopes to forget last year&#8217;s mediocre performance with a new car featuring a &#8220;radical aerodynamic overhaul&#8221; compared to the MP4-24. Once again, power comes from a Mercedes-Benz V8 that has been slightly tweaked, and a larger fuel tank has also been fitted to comply with new regulations. <\/p>\n<p>However, the real story for McLaren this year might just be its driver lineup. With Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button behind the wheel, it&#8217;s the first time since Prost and Senna in 1989 that championship-winning drivers have been paired on the same team, and it&#8217;s the first time that back-to-back champs will be working together. Both will get their first chance behind the wheel on Monday when McLaren begins their pre-season testing in Spain. Hit the jump for the brief press release from McLaren and check out the MP4-25 in detail in the high-res gallery below.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-mclaren-mp4-25\/low\/\">2010 McLaren MP4-25<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-mclaren-mp4-25\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/vodafonemclarenmercedesmp4-25mtca4300dpi_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-mclaren-mp4-25\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/vodafonemclarenmercedesmp4-25side-viewa4300dpi_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-mclaren-mp4-25\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/vodafonemclarenmercedesmp4-25low-level-front-viewa4300dpi_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-mclaren-mp4-25\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/vodafonemclarenmercedesmp4-25overhead-viewa4300dpi_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: McLaren]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/29\/mclaren-launches-button-and-hamiltons-new-ride-the-mp4-25\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>McLaren launches Button and Hamilton&#8217;s new ride, the MP4-25<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/29\/mclaren-launches-button-and-hamiltons-new-ride-the-mp4-25\/\">McLaren launches Button and Hamilton&#8217;s new ride, the MP4-25<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Fri, 29 Jan 2010 12:27:00 EST.
