It's boring but last year's livery was terrible so it's an improvement. I hope McLaren is done with chrome because I don't want three (well, six) chrome cars on the same grid.

"I dig it. I never cared for the 2014 livery, it was way too busy for my tastes. Felt like it was designed by a committee. This looks like it was designed by one skilled person with a clear vision for the whole project."

What you don't realise is that this is just an massive troll attempt

Why do you think they released the livery before the car? Because silver+orange is clearly what McLaron were going to go for, and now FI have got in there first. Hell, if it was a genuine FI car for FI, there'd be some bloody green on it. But no, just a giant gently caress You to Ron.

I approve.

That's clearly because the front end of the 2009 car was mostly my design.

On that note, could any team have their cars bright red? Or is that an exclusive colour scheme to Ferrari?

My brain had seemingly erased that from my memory. Or - more than likely - it was eclipsed by the beauty of the 2009 BrawnGP.

I thought the dick noses had been made illegal this year? Yes they are certainly shorter, but there are now two cars sporting a micro penis.

To be fair to you a good amount of the reason that front end looked bad was the paintjob drawing attention to the less than glamorous rectangular bits. Lots of F1 cars have aero that performs well but looks ugly, but the livery designers have the intelligence to disguise it by painting it a dark colour rather than white and orange, with the orange pointing like an arrow to the right angled corner. (In fact I seem to remember that by the end of the year Renault did do that)
