Apart from the ugly nose and livery, the Mclaren looks mighty tight at the rear just makes me wonder how the engine will perform.

 

[Mush]

The one thing that bums me out the most about the McLaren reveal is that they still haven't been able to find a title sponsor.

Well maybe if Ron lowered his asking price it would've happened already. They finished fifth 2 years in a row.

Ron thinks McLaren is like Ferrari but the poor performances have driven sponsors away, Ferrari still has their brand name to attract the cash despite how poor the car has been

Absolutely agree.

Even Hugo Boss bailed on them and went to Mercedes. I'm surprised Johnny Walker hasn't left yet...or did they?

 

[Pimpwerx]

Will there be a website with live timing from testing, or is it all Autosport this year again?

The Merc looks like last year's car, so its beautiful. The Mac livery isn't flattering in pics. Maybe it'll look nicer in motion. The lack of title sponsor is hilarious. I can't wait to see how the Honda engine shakes out against the other engines in testing. I like the look of the Williams, but I also pike their minimalist livery.

I hope this season Lewis can dominate qualifying. If the car is the class of the field again, he's going to want the comfort of starting ahead of Nico. PEACE.

Autosport and twitter will probably be the best real time information. Based on the last couple years Sky may have the 15 min daily update along with the late night Ted's Notebook for review/recap info.

 

[Shaneus]

Thanks for the clarification. Can't say it was a dumb decision. He's been with that team since it was Jaguar, it was his home. Either way he would've been somebodies number 2.

Not quite, he was at Williams with both Britney and Rubens before he was at RBR. Initial RBR drivers were Coulthard and... some really, really tall guy whose name escapes me. But not Webber.

I know about his Williams stint. Redbull is just the team he's been with for the longest. I believe he got his start at Minardi like Alonso if I'm not mistaken...which is where he got his highest finishing position at his home race I believe.

He was at Williams with Heidfeld, not Barrichello. I think the other Red Bull guy was Klien.

Why do I know this shit

 

[Jezbollah]

It finally came to me what that front shot of the new Merc reminds me of: the 1998 McLaren. That conventional flat, swept down nose and the livery especially.

Feels like they might turn up to Albert Park and ROFLStomp everyone just like Mika and DC did back then.

Nah, this isn't a Newey car...

 

[Ark]

Nah, this isn't a Newey car...

It's an Aldo Costa car, which, to Ferrari's dismay, is better

 

[Mastah]

As speculated, blue and yellow colors of Banco de Brasil:

So bare though, F1 is not in crisis, yeah

 

[Zeknurn]

Livery looks alright.

edit: Just realised that Marcus Ericsson will be driving in a yellow and blue car. Neat.

 

[brotkasten]

I like the colors.

 

[Mastah]

 

[kharma45]

Christ that Sauber is hideous.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Chelsea F1 Team

 

[Orgun]

I think that Sauber is my favourite so far.

 

[Risgroo]

Disgusting

Sauber C34, The long nose is easier to pass the crash test, one of the compromises of their restricted resources

Adam Cooper ‏@adamcooperF1 13m13 minutes ago

Sauber: "Some components are still from the Sauber C33 and will be successively replaced by new parts."

[Lach]

Could have done more with that colour scheme, still better than McLaren .

 

[Staab]

I like the colors !
Can't say it looks competitive though
Hope they can scrounge enough money to not be last...

99% sure they'll be backmarkers

There is no way they won't be deadlast this year.

 

[Zeknurn]

I believe in Manor Racing.

 

[brotkasten]

Does Caterham still exist?

e: Oh Taki!

 

[Zeknurn]

Does Caterham still exist?

Yes

I think they'll at least have a chance to challange Lotus or Force India, which are in a similarly dire situation...

 

[f0rk]

Looks like a fisher price toy

 

[Dilly]

But they have Mercedes engines, which will give them an edge over Sauber.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

His helmet will look right at home in that car.

That is one beautiful car.

 

[bobnowhere]

Is that an Alfa Romeo badge?

Edit: Yes

[Aiii]

Seb-FIST reveal in 5 minutes.

Kimi looks like he's dying inside and Seb really doesn't do red well.

Car on the other hand looks fine as fuck.

 

[Staab]

There's an interesting piece at the back

Love the livery but that nose is long as fuck !

 

[jey_16]

I almost feel like there are too many sponsors, kind of ruins it a bit. Nose is much better though

 

[kharma45]

That looks good.

 

[Risgroo]

Damn that's a good-looking car.

 

[Interferon]

Looks great. Interesting all 'round and finally a normal nose.
And it has an Alfa Romeo badge

 

[Zeknurn]

That nose looks hilariously dumb. I bet they got some blueprints from McLaren and had to outdo them in length.

 

[Ark]

Its definitely nowhere near as hideous as last year's nose, that's for sure I think I like it, though Mercedes is still the best looking 2015 challenger for me. It all hinges on how the Red Bull looks.

 

[Lemonte]

Vettel doesn't look like himself at all.

 

[Foshy]

Looks very nice. I'm actually impressed.
