McLaren has announced its 2016 F1 car, the MP4-31, has passed the FIA’s mandatory crash tests.
The team is the latest to have its car homologated by the FIA, with Toro Rosso, Force India, Mercedes and Sauber recently revealing the news.
McLaren confirmed that the MP4-31 has passed its crash tests in a post on Twitter. It is the second car powered by the Honda V6 Turbo power unit.
The new McLaren will be unveiled on the 21 February, one day prior to the start of the first four-day pre-season test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Following a short break, teams will then return to the track for the second and final test, which takes place from the 1-4 March.
