    I had such high hopes for a season of none munter cars. Let's just hope that force India had a bump before its unveiling.

    Benson has been told that the new McLaren is orange and white.



    I sincerely hope so, but I expect grey!

    I think they're is still going to be a lot of black. Benson hasn't been told anything.

    Orange and white would be a slap in the face to Ron.

    Looks businesslike rather than beautiful IMO, although we haven't seen the arty shots yet. Nose is nice. For me there's too much black and turquoise in that livery. I'd love to see all silver.

    God there's a lot of exposed floor at the back of that car. I suppose we haven't seen any of the others from the same angle to see if that's common to all the new cars. You could carry a couple of passengers on there.

    The Merc barge boards look very weird. Look like they are not just vertical but have a horizontal surface top and bottom.

    It looks like the rear end is stretched. Is that to give the illusion the following cars are closer?

    Shame it's got those treaded tyres on, does rather spoil the effect of the big fat wheels.

    I quite like it. Tough if they stick a shark fin on it, I'm popping down there with the hedge clippers!

    Those barge boards look very strange plus the wavy bar above the barge boards?
