McLaren Tooned

Has anyone else seen this animation from McLaren? I stumbled on to them on You Tube.

Hysterical.

I've watched a couple episodes. They're actually quite funny.

The team was pimping the series with TOONS signage on their rear wings in Singapore.

I think that those may be more entertaining than actual F1 racing. I just LOL'ed at the "extra Ks from Mika Häkkinen's name" in episode 3

Nigel Mansell's mustache had me cracked up.

This said that "Framestore is scripting, directing and creating high-end CGI for 12 three-minute episodes." I could only find the first five. When will the others be released?

That's REALLY well-done. Fantastic find!!!

My favorite little detail was that the rear valence of the golf cart was the same at the MPC-12

I keep watching episode 1 over and over, trying to figure out what that guy's stealing from the trophy case.

Those are brilliant.

James Hunts jockstrap, lol

LOL nice I'm gonna be watching them all now!

Jenson Button's character is just this guy with different hair though:

Curiosity plus da Googs gets me this: The building in the toons is actually the real McLaren Technology Centre.

Well, the exterior is, anyway..

I'm [im]patiently waiting for Ep.7 to show up on youtube, these things are just too funny!

I want to believe that the McLaren Technology Center truly is a flying building with an F1-speed treadmill track in the basement, and that they grow Stigs there in vats. (In bunches, like grapes, of course.

"Some say that he grew on a vine in Surrey, and that he goes good with a nice chicken alfredo. All we know is, he's called the Stig!"

the thief appears over and over again.. getting more brazen each time

They probably do have a wind tunnel dyno in there...

But does Marvin Whitmarsh have "hell toupee"?

That guy is Stepney in disguise and he's stealing secrets.

No, it's not too soon. That was hilarious.

My favorite one so far is actually Episode 5..there's a bunch of McLaren/Ferrari rivalry in that one.
