McLaren are scheduled to launch their 2021 challenger on February 15. The team that finished third in last year's championship will be looking to claim their first win in Formula 1 since 2012. Between the arrival of Daniel Ricciardo and the switch to Mercedes power, the Woking-based team seems bullish about their 2021 prospects. However, as today is Valentine Day, the team have teased a picture of their new car on Instagram along with a caption that reads: "#ValentinesDay today but we're hoping you won't mind waiting until tomorrow to meet your new love." The post can be viewed below.
