Love that bike. I wonder if it'll catch fire if you slap a Honda badge on it?
Irony of Mclaren partnering up to improve the aero of a road bike is that Mclaren are one of the worst teams in F1 now principally because they can't figure out the aero regulations and are making cars that are too draggy and inefficient.

They could team up with a big pharma company to spread the costs---of sponsorship, I mean.

The mind boggles. McLaren has shown an amazing level of aerodynamic and engineering ineptitude in F1 for a number of years now. This smacks a bit of, "We can't do it in F1. But surely we can compete in bicycles! ANYONE can make a fast bicycle!" Jumping the shark.
(Reminds me, a bit, of how SRAM tried for a decade to make a functional front road derailleur and, failing miserably at that, decided to promote 1x drivetrains!)
