The early signs are the MP4-25 will swiftly banish the bad memories of its predecessor.
Button happy with McLaren’s race pace
World champion Jenson Button believes team mate Lewis Hamilton’s long run in the McLaren yesterday shows the team are in good shape ahead of the first race of the season:

Nico Hülkenberg said the tyres were wearing out quickly in yesterday’s wet session at Jerez:
Even though we were picking up a lot of water on the track they still seemed too soft. They were [...]
Hamilton and Button off to a smiling start but the test is yet to come
If yesterday’s Ferrari launch left us all worried that all the 2010 F1 cars were going to look like fat RB5s, the revealing of the McLaren MP4-25 put that thought from our minds.
But just as interesting as the car was our first glimpse of how Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button get on as team mates. [...]
