The team have opted to move away from the chrome elements of their original 2015 colour scheme in favour of a darker 'graphite-grey' colouration, with more emphasis on the McLaren 'dayglo' keylines.
The team said in a statement that the changes would reduce reflection issues caused by the chrome treatment and optimise the car's appearance both in bright sunshine and under the floodlights.
McLaren have used silver-based liveries since 1997, when it switched away from the red and white designs that had been used for the previous two decades.
