F1: Predict & Win a Lenovo Laptop
After challenging for the title in 2005 and then failing to win a race last year for the first time in a decade, McLaren are on the up again.
The arrival of Alonso has energised the team and their performances in testing suggest they will be slugging it out with Ferrari right from the start.
Reliability remains a worry while 22-year-old rookie Lewis Hamilton's lack of experience could cost McLaren vital constructors' points.
