Checksum 7…

Sum of digits 7? Yes, exactly. I have the two McLaren Formula 1 cars from the 2011 season right here in front of me: Jenson Button’s car with the number 3 and Lewis Hamilton’s car with the number 4.

The two Brits finished the 2011 season with Jenson in 2nd place and Lewis in 5th. 7 again. As far as I’m concerned, the streak can continue as long as Sebastian Vettel stays in first place. McLaren can even take second place in the Constructors’ Championship again (as they did in 2010 and 2011), but as I said: the main thing is that Vettel becomes World Champion again!

But joking aside, let’s get to the two race cars.

Let me get one thing out of the way right off the bat: I can actually just copy and paste last year’s driving report, since the body of the 2011 Race Car Carrera is Carrera based on the 2010 model Carrera. Unfortunately, a custom body wasn’t possible this time—maybe next year.

z.B. If you look z.B . at z.B . pictures of the vehicle presentation at Potsdamer Platz ( rp- online.de ) and compare them with the model, the first thing you notice is the MP4-26’s high nose, which the Carreramodel doesn’t have yet. Next is the much sleeker shape of the entire body.

The silver-neon red paint scheme is already familiar from the MP4-26’s predecessors; not much has changed for the 2011 model.

As mentioned, the handling is the same as the previous year’s model: a very stable car with a reasonable limit range and strong acceleration.

Exactly what you want for exciting races on your home track.

Have fun!
