They should have made the top half white, it would have checked the nostalgia checkboxes and it would count as "new" so people wouldn't whine. Instead some poor designer will have to design a whole new livery in two weeks while having daily meetings with Ron Dennis about the right shade of red to use

be nice wicka posted:everyone is special and all opinions are equally valid Ah, I see. What a magical land of whimsy it must be. Regarding the McLaren, it should be all white, with a six inch red line from the tip of the nose pointing back towards the driver, and another red line encircling the entire nosecone about six inches back from that. They can call it the MP4/Ron.

The mclaren will be silver. The Mclaren technology centre is silver and he isn't going to paint that again. The redbull looks great. The dazzle camp idea is retarded, as hd images of the thing will be on rival chief designers desks seconds after launch. They stumbled on a cool design though. The Ferrari should be brown to better represent the poo poo inside.

Alain Post posted:Meanwhile "Super" Seb is on top. Dare I say that this may be a trend this year? Kimi was top of first practice last season too. Didnt work out quite so well. The scary thing should be the amount of laps the Mercedes and Williams put out, that means they're reliable and are doing what the designers expexted so arent having to gently caress around with terrible aero/engine issues a lot. Gives them plenty of time to dial it in even better.

Vettel's already matched Kimi in his first proper day in a Ferrari, and he'll only go up from there. Besides, we all know he likes to win from the front. Number five is looming large.

I should add now that I was not be specific to vettel. Kimi is loving poo poo too! The merc did 150 loving laps. On the first test that's waaaaaay more important that one lap pace. The Ferraro will be unreliable and poo poo and the merc will be flawless. Hopefully for hamilton rather than that cheating Herman.

I doubt many teams were running drastically different cars to what they finished 2014 in. Today was all about shaking the cars down and maybe adding one or two aero parts and seeing how things go. Ultimately we don't know what fuel levels everyone was running or what there program was. Ferrari seem to have maybe just snuck in a quick lap to make them seem a real threat. P1 australia is when we'll actually know where people stand all of this is just about learning and making f1 fans want march 13th to hurry up

Not only did Force India steal all the Sauber sponsors, they also took their test driver http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/sirotkin-money-key-to-force-india-absence-report/ If even Force India is in trouble I can't imagine Lotus and Sauber surviving the season

Ron's words on the livery are pretty Rontastic.quote:“We’ve got the same thing inside [the company],” he said. “You’ve got people who say ‘Why don’t we make it orange?,’ and I say, ‘Why?’ ‘That was the old colour of McLaren.’ ‘Well yeah you just said it, why the hell do we want to go backwards?’ Then what do you do? Do you create an aesthetically pleasing design? For what purpose do you produce an aesthetically pleasing design? http://adamcooperf1.com/2015/02/01/dennis-promises-that-mclaren-livery-will-change/
