New McLaren Livery

Post

It seems to be Jerez, and its thought that they were filming an advert.

Seems its all true and if you ask me the colour combination doesn't work very well.

Great find.

That doesn't really look good at all though.

Probably just a quick update for PR reasons, I wouldn't quite accept it as being the 2007 livery just yet.

I like it, although still not the chrome part, lets see it in Orange.

Who's helmet is that?
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

Eh, what? I don't see anything wrong with the tire. Are they Bridgestones, is that what you mean?

The res is far too low to really tell, but yes you might be right MC, (who would know better than you?) that tyre does seem to be disproportionate to the front, and the suspension angle not right. Or were you meaning the Bridgestone logo?

I think he was talking about the area between the wing and the tire. The rear wing element doesn't look like that!

Hummm, Ron announced a new image for the team for 2007, and this is way too conservative, just putting Vodafone logos in place of Johnny...

Furthermore, there are things that seem "worked", although it could be simply due to retouching a very low-res picture...

Sorry, you're right, that is very unusual, I thought the suspension geometry was out because of that huge flat patch on the tyre, I didn't realise that was where the wing had been. I thought I was looking at the back of the tyre, not where someone had edited it out.

It looks almost deffinetly like it has been photoshoped.
