    Anybody realised one big thing? *Looks like the Mercedes F1 livery*
    Without the red from the Vodafone sponser placement, it will be very hard to distinguish in my opinion. The Mercedes livery includes the teal from Petronas, which is the only difference in my opinion.

    It looks good but until you see it side by side wht the competition it will be difficult to compare.

    I presume it will change as and when they get a proper sponsor before the first race. I am suprised they have gone for the Mercedes look as things have clearly deterioated between them, so an orange theme would have been much better and stopped any recognition of a Mercedes tie.

    I agree, there seemed to be a large demand from the fanbase for an orange livery. Very confused.

    But Big Ron had spoken, it had to be chrome. Corporate before sentiment.

    Beautiful to see the car without the stepped nose, back to the future! But it looks like they are going to be manic to drive, ERS/turbo/Low downforce...

    It's even got a jap's eye! Actually, I don't think it's that bad but it's the only part of the car I don't like unequivocally.

    So the best looking car so far has to be the Force India, mainly because we haven't seen the nose yet!

    I like the Mclaren front wing endplates though. they look very complicated and over the past few years thats a good thing.
