VetteIfan 0 Posted January 29, 2015 The W06 doing a shakedown at Silverstone today. Looking like being one of the better looking cars again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenColt 1 Posted January 29, 2015 If it's as fast as it looks, you guys are in for a painful year. And I'm in for a 9 month lasting F1-orgasm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alonsofan46 0 Posted January 29, 2015 People are getting way too worked up over the livery. The car itself is beautiful and if it goes fast I couldn't care less how it looks. There are rumours it won't even be the final livery anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoldenColt 1 Posted January 29, 2015 But it's still weird. The livery resembles the one they've used during their most succesful era with Mercedes, which would have been a great thing to use last year given it was the last year of their partnership. But using this very similar livery from the Mercedes-era for the first year of the new era with Honda? Just weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MBKF1 91 Posted January 29, 2015 The Mercedes understandably looks like an evaluation on last year, really not much change at all, livery or shape wise.The McLaren, I like the long low nose! The livery, it's like they ran out of red paint to make the lines to the back of the car thicker! :p I really don't know why they didn't make the silver areas white either. It would not only match their new team gear but also a reminder of the old Honda days, not only with McLaren in the late 80s-early 90s but also the BAR/Honda team years!

Chadwick8505 0 Posted January 29, 2015 The car does indeed look good despite the crummy livery. Front wing very much a Red Bull esque clone. But the packaging in the back behind the side pods is so narrow, which looks like it allowed them to have fun with the floor. It's just a shame they didn't make the livery as exciting as the design of the car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f1since08 60 Posted January 29, 2015 The new McLaren is very tight at the back compared to last year, and the front wing looks curves a bit more at the sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buttonfan 5 Posted January 29, 2015 So as alonsofan said there's still a chance the MP4-30 will have a different livery on Melbourne http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/mclaren-could-yet-opt-for-new-livery-by-australia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VetteIfan 0 Posted January 29, 2015 Yeah the W05 was prettier for me as well. Not that it's a bad looking car, however. It's always positive for F1 when the fastest car on the grid is also (one of the) prettiest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Britpoint 4 Posted January 29, 2015 I'm very excited to see the Sauber. If the blue/yellow rumours are true, it could be one of the highlights, livery wise. I'm imagining something like the 555 half of the old BAR Hondas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liaveil 120 Posted January 30, 2015 Someones already got to work making one:Always think either the Mild Seven Renault's or Camel Williams' with those colours though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenColt 1 Posted January 30, 2015 Don't remind me of the Mild Seven Renaults or I'll start to cry.Why is it impossible for the teams of today to make such amazing liveries? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
