These second swooshes look horrible :/

At least mirrors are no longer red.

 

[Risgroo]

Eh, I like it.

It's back!

 

[Psychotext]

Massive shrug from me. Meh.

 

[Aiii]

Looks great.

To be fair, my own car is Anthracite Grey as well.

 

[ramparter]

I like it but I expected better.

 

[jey_16]

lol...how is that possible, they made it worse

 

[Mastah]

 

[Jibbed]

I'm now convinced that Ron Dennis does all the graphic design work for McLaren.

 

[jey_16]

they really do look like backmarkers now

 

[Staab]

That's horrible... looks like a goddamn HRT!

 

[ramparter]

they really do look like backmarkers now

That's so true sadly. Would be really strange to see this car crossing the line first in Spain.

I've just realised they finally got rid of the dumb fluorescent red wing mirrors. 10/10 massive improvement.

 

[Aiii]

I'm sorry, you might not like the colors they chose. But this paint job is obviously a lot more high quality than the heater-paint they slap on the Sauber and Manor's.

 

[Gruso]

High res imgur album does it more justice: http://imgur.com/a/5RKmo

Not going red and white will always be a disappointment. But the more I look at it, the more I like it. Reminds me of the stealthy 2013 Sauber, probably my favourite looking car of that year.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Sensational livery.

So, Honda isn't using any of their tokens for Barcelona...

Will anybody use tokens before the in season test sessions? I expect Honda to bring their token upgrades for the Belgian GP.


Arai says they've made reliability and driveability improvements which will allow them to increase the power.

 

[Zeknurn]

Yeah they have made it worse. Well done.

 

[dalin80]

Yeah... That looks cheap and nast, combined with the lack of sponsors it's like HRT rides again.

 

[Ark]

You'd think they have the budget to afford at least one graphic designer. Admittedly though, it's a slight improvement.

 

[JadedWriter]

That's horrible... looks like a goddamn HRT!

When you have no sponsors, copy from the best.

 

[silver.tongue]

Looks worse... Just awful... It's like the car has 2 noses.

 

[dubc35]

Terrible. Why does it have to be silver/gray?

It does look a lot like the HRT...except HRT had more sponsors.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

That almost makes it look like they've gone back to a step-nose.

 

[JadedWriter]

Looks worse... Just awful... It's like the car have 2 noses.

The two swoops make it look like it has a Prost nose.

 

[hadareud]

I quite liked the original design (never got the hate, at all).

Hate the new one. A mentioned it looks like it has 2 noses. Looks weird.

 

[massivekettle]

Dammit McLaren, you only had one job to do and you blew it.

 

[JadedWriter]

Dammit McLaren, you only had one job to do and you blew it.

But disappointing their fan base is their one job.

 

[Lemonte]

and I thought it couldn't be any uglier

 

[Fox Mulder]

You'd think they have the budget to afford at least one graphic designer. Admittedly though, it's a slight improvement.

They just don't care. They have Honda money and having a pretty car is just a luxury.

 

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

I'm not much of a fan of the mid-nose swoosh placement, but other than that, it's a great testing livery.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

New livery will look spectacular on track.

 

[marvelharvey]

If it drives like a backmarker, looks like a backmarker and quacks like a backmarker, then it's probably a backmarker.

 

[dubc35]

Someone at least likes it, commenters not so much, lol.

 

[Dilly]

That second orange streak on the nose is ugly.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

 

[Risgroo]

Yeah, gotta see it on track before I make my mind up.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I dig it.

 

[hadareud]

Seems to look better in natural light.

 

[Tubie]

It would look great if it wasn't for that orange stripe that makes it look like we're back in the step nose era.

 

[Gruso]

Pat Symonds is doing an AMA. The thread is up for questions now, and he'll be answering after FP2 tomorrow.

At the Met Gala earlier this week with my good friend Sir Philip Green! He hooked me up!

Ughhh.

Philip Green is a disgusting human being.

It's a shame Lewis would consider him a "friend", albeit in a Facebook post.

 

[Psychotext]

Fair play to Hamilton, it's taken years, but he's finally getting on top of his baldness problem.

 

[Shaneus]

I have no idea who Philip Green is. Should I care?

 

[Mastah]

Another one bites the dust at Ferrari?

Dimi PAPADOPOULOS ‏@f1enigma 5m5 minutes ago

A story from @AlbertFabrega is telling that Ferraris Sporting Director Massimo Rivola has been released ...

 

[Business]

Beautiful shots thanks for sharing.

 

[Hammer24]

I have no idea who Philip Green is. Should I care?

Sir Philip Green, very successful businessman, very wellknown for lavish spending on parties with stars, and charities. Got some criticism for tax avoidance.

That, and the sweatshops.

 

[Hammer24]

That, and the sweatshops.

Ah? Haven´t heard of those - got a link for me to read up on, please?

There's loads more out there on it though.

So Toro Rosso do this dumb challenge thing series where they have Max and Carlos face off in random wacky challenges. The latest one is actually kind of cool, they have them visualize a lap around Barcelona and the winner is the person who gets the closest time to their actual fastest time during winter testing:
