Has more about it than their recent designs but most car designs these days are garbage and lacking in colour.

We know there were strong rumblings of this being a testing livery, and imagine if they kept the whole thing and just dropped the silver for white, and the mclaren logos for real sponsors (that i guess didnt pay for testing). It makes a lot more sense as a white/orange/black livery.

Yeah,quote:"Dennis has been waxing rhapsodic about the quality of design and workmanship on the new MP4-30. 'The rear bodywork of our car has been brilliantly shrink-wrapped around a fantastically advanced and incredibly compact Honda power unit,' he said. 'We've even invented a new phrase to describe its design philosophy - the size-zero F1 car.' (Boullier)

I just had a quick look at the Reddit thread. Jesus wept, never again. I have never seen such an idiotic bunch of F1 people, and I used to moderate a board with some actual retards. It's all weird fanboys that write as if they started watching last year.

Cost would usually be 40-50% of budget, and spend now so high no one can afford that. this makes some sense, none of the current title sponsors (and there are only 2.5) are shelling out anywhere near what vodafone was paying

Is it bad that I really want the placeholder RB livery to stick? It's actually unique, which is something not seen in F1 livery for a while, which is why they'll get rid of it.

If we follow last year's trends. Mercedes being near the top means every race will have a 2 minute gap between the Mercs and every other car.

simplefish posted:They were the only ones taking it to Red Bull in... I want to say 2011 They were Red Bull's closest rivals, but only had Button actually capable of challenging all year. They threw away having the best car in 2007, nearly did it in 2008 too, and we'll never really know how good the 2012 one was because although it raced at the front that year was such an astonishing clusterfuck of pit errors and setup problems that god knows what it could have done. They had a post Senna slump, a post Hakkinen slump (wasn't the 2005 car another top car that underachieved? Though I recall that was maybe engine reliability) and now they're in a post-Hamilton slump. They even have a history of producing absolute dogs when they're on form, for most hilarious McLaren ever that 2009 car just beats out the MP4-18 that became the 19 and was still poo poo. Rev.
