I'm digging the return of the papaya kiwi racing orange, but yes it looks similar to the Spyker and Manor, would have been cooler if they'd used even more orange

It's bright.....that's about it.

I don't dislike it though

Seriously what were they thinking with this livery. It would be much better without the white.

But it would be even better if the white replaced all the black/grey.

Any usage of white is very small but a lot of teams use it. It's been a while since we've seem a predominantly white car.

Williams?

Not enough white really and their livery scheme is old news now. Time to change it.

You've given me a new job, I'm damn sure going to do it to the best of my ability

On track McLaren looks a little bit better than the photos from studio but looking it at distance, it will remind Manor and every car that reminds Manor not being Manor itself isn't really nice.

I stick with the same opinion of the ones who prefered white rather than black. When will McLaren adopt white colors? Why such prejudice against white? I don't understand.

No, it stands for Invitation to Tender.

...I should leave the office. It's getting late.

from a recent autosport article:

Quote:

Hasegawa did state that the oil tank issue Honda suffered on day one is easily curable, with a temporary fix in place now which has alleviated any immediate concerns.

"So far we can live with the current modified oil tank, but obviously through the season we always try to improve the system," he said.

"So if we have the chance we may try to introduce some more oil tank modification but so far I don't think it is a problem to run with this one."

Uh...really? Boullier also said none of the problems they've had are "fundamental". Sounds like both of these guys are in denial over the inadequacy of the car and engine systems. It's gonna be a long year for McLaren-Honda.

Will Honda sit it out? I can see them drop out by the end of the season.
And McLaren will be fucked then. They probably can get 2017 engines from Ferrari of Mercedes.

Overall I think McLaren did a great job on the overall car design. The color is okay but it's a nice change.
