And so the Formula 1 roller coaster starts again for another year!

Hot on the heels of the first official testing session of the season, McLaren have today publically launched the MP4-26, which they hope will take either Hamilton or Button to the Drivers Championship and McLaren to the 2011 Constructors Championship.

And what a beauty it is, with innovative new side pods, air intakes and exhaust configurations that really make it stand out from the other cars on the grid.

Time will tell if these add an edge in terms of performance with the new Red Bull already looking strong. We will hopefully know more next week with the second official testing session and I for one cannot wait for the 2011 season to start in March.
