Didn't they have Hublot when they had Super Seb? Much more appropriate brand for RBR. Utter filth.

Casio went to Toro Rosso IIRC, to make room for Tag Heuer.

It's laughable that Casio has a premium line of watches. They should just be pushing their calculator watch and the terrorist bomb clock watch.

Yeah I meant premium in relation to their standard offerings. Obviously they aren't trying to compete with Rolex with those.

Speaking of El hefe, has baddonado said where he is going yet? I'm hoping he goes to Nascar with the other Gran Colombian driver mostly known for crashing between a small number of wins, Juan Pablo Montoya.

According to ~*my sources*~ the McLaren Honda will have 2,000 horsepower, feature active suspension that circumvents the rules by being built into the wheels and feature a livery consisting of the Andy Warhol/Velvet Underground Banana.

Seiko would make a great sponsor for McLaren. Their watches are ruthlessly efficient and great. They make loving $80 fully mechanical watches that look better than 90% of the gaudy swiss offerings.

IWC makes fairly classy watches. And they're German and they sponsor the Germanest team with a Germanic German from Germany on it. I mean there's also a swarthy Brit on it too but nobody's perfect.

competitive or otherwise, this guy was claiming they could start in barcelona with last year's engine, which is fundamentally a retarded thing to suggest, and even more retarded to believe, especially when literally no one else has reported it

Shut up, Nick! You're not Twilight.
Since livery chat is still popular while everyone waits for Friday's reveal I guess now would be a good time to ask for advice on painting my next kids room. My first born's room has a paint job that was inspired by the old Gulf Oil Porsche 908 livery, it looks like this:



For our second kid's room I'd like to do something inspired by an F1 livery. The two paint schemes I am considering are a Jordan 301 based scheme, or maybe an old school Lotus British racing green with yellow racing stripes scheme. Going loving nuts and doing something based on Benetton's united colors is also tempting but Im not sure if the wife would approve of it. Are there any other cool, non-alcohol, non-tobacco sponsored liveries that ya'll think would look good splashed all over the walls of a child's room?

Oh, and of course the bathroom that is shared between the two rooms will be getting a Mclaren themed coat of pain.

Paint it in Red Bull colours, including a bull graphic and sent a picture to Red Bull. See if they'll sponsor your kid through high school/uni or some poo poo.

I like to think the toilet contained in the bathroom is a good metaphor for the Honda engine contained in the Mclaren.

Yeah, I was just looking at the Martini livery again. It would work perfectly for a boy or a girl, it matches the other room well enough, and my wife would be ok with it. I think its a very good option despite being associated with alcohol.
