    Just look how low and wide the rear wing is, deffo and old stallion. Shell logo is also an older one, on the mechanic's jacket.
    Was looking forward to it actually being the new Ferrari, pissed off now.

    Where's this confirmed? Presumably VdG is the second Caterham driver then?

    Gutting fish is what Kamui would be doing if he didn't get this drive

    Really think Caterham are going to announce the drivers at the first test now, or have some kind of shoot-out to decide who they sign. It's daft leaving it this late.

    Don't think they have anything to lose to be honest. So your theory will probably be evident with a shootout.

    McGregor, VDG's major sponsor, is no longer listed as a partner on Caterham's website. Coincidence?

    Come on Kobayashi-Kovalainen!

    In other news, the new placeholder designs for Mclaren replica teamwear show no hint of red, but plenty of grey, so possibly the livery may change slightly this year. The other thing of (very slight) interest is that nearly all of the usual sponsors are already on the shirts in minor positions, probably suggesting none of them are going to step up to title sponsor. The exception to that is the missing Lucozade brand.

    Lucozade, until September, was owned by the pharmaceuticals giant GlaxoSmithKline, who have a long-standing collaboration with Mclaren. Presumably Lucozade was simply the brand GSK chose to advertise themselves through, but with Lucozade divested, that no longer makes sense. GSK themselves have recently done very well, with a record number of drug approvals, so they aren't short of cash, could they step up as title sponsors? GSK Mclaren-Mercedes?

    Alternatively (and probably more likely), GSK own plenty more brands, and it wouldn't surprise me if one of them end up on the car. Personally I'd find Horlicks branding amusing, but Beechams, or even Macleans (Macleans Mclaren Mercedes?) is probably more likely.
