McLaren have revealed the Honda-powered MP4-31 car they hope will propel the team back to the front of the F1 grid after their worst season in 30 years. Martin Prado Marlins Jersey . Having reunited to headline-grabbing effect, the McLaren-Honda partnership proved to be one of the stories of the year but hopes of a competitive 2016 have been reignited amid talk of a huge horsepower boost from the engine suppliers.Eschewing the populist appeal of reverting to their classic red and white livery from their previous title-winning alliance with Honda, the MP4-31 has been presented with a dark, sombre livery. In keeping with their new cars circumspect appearance, the team have also declined to make any eye-catching predictions about their hopes for the new season.  Im not about to make any over-optimistic predictions - Formula 1 is far too unpredictable for me to do that - but, from what Ive seen so far, the aero detailing on the car looks fantastic, said Jenson Button, one half of McLarens all-champion driver line-up with Fernando Alonso which team boss Ron Dennis hailed as the best driver line-up in the sport. But Dennis was noticeably more guarded on McLarens prospects in 2016 having only beaten Manor, who failed to score a point, in the 2015 Constructors Championship.As we embark on the second year of our renewed McLaren-Honda partnership, all of us remain united in our purpose, said the McLaren chief executive. That purpose is to develop our team towards our shared ambition: to win. Well make no predictions as to when those wins will come, but I can say without fear of contradiction that every member of our team has worked with truly relentless dedication over the past few months.F1 in 2016: Teams reveal their new cars The car will make its on-track debut at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona on Monday at the first of two four-day pre-season tests.Testing this week in Barcelona has been described as a make-or-break trial for the MP4-31 by Alonso after Dennis admitted in November that it was possible the two-time world champion would take a sabbatical.  Button will debut the car when testing starts on Monday with Alonso scheduled to take over on the second and final days of the test.The aero package shows fantastic attention to detail, said the Spaniard.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes is back.The face of the Rio Olympics, Paes has shied away from the cameras since the opening ceremony.

He cited a mix or private and public money to stage the games, arguing they were reasonably priced and would leave no white elephants.I think its an amazing legacy for Rio that people will have for many years, Paes said.Credited by the International Olympic Committee for pushing preparations, Paes has often tried to lower expectations about Rios Olympics, which have been plagued by empty seats and organization problems.He did it again with Koike, saying Tokyo is a much more ddeveloped city than Rio. Miami Marlins T-shirts.
