To me the McLaren looks WAY better.

btw: I know where you are getting at. But no, i don't think they look much alike.

I just wish I could see more of the car. That black paint just makes it all disappear. Can you see any sponsors on there? (I know, but there are some)

When did he say that? As far as I know he just said the livery would change if and only if a sponsor compensated them accordingly. Obviously that hasn't happened.

From GPUpdate http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/3215 ... ry-change/
However, speaking to assembled media at Jerez, Dennis explained that "our 2015 livery will change, but I'm not going to say when."

Ok, then why are you complaining? He specifically neglected to say when. Don't expect it to happen before a significant sponsor announcement.

i'm not complaining :roll:

i'm just saying that last year he said mclaren would have a sponsor at the beggining (we know how that story finished), this year he said they will change the livery...or as you said...have a new sponsor, but for now it looks like it's not going to happen.

Did anyone notice that the black seemed to have a lot more heavy glitter in it at Malaysia?

I'm sure they didn't respray it between the two races, so maybe it didn't show up as well in Australia, but it showed pretty well last weekend. It makes the black look a lot more interesting that in stills. Will look amazing in Singapore.

Sorry to say, but I hate the Red :(

Ferrari is Red. I love the Chrome. I would change the RW to Chrome as well :D

i must say the livery has grown on me, despite i still say there's not enough red at the rear to 'balance' it out.
i do like the red though, but the livery in combination with the 'long nose' makes the car look 'front heavy' somehow and gives it an odd 'shape'.

I noticed the glitter more, too. Don't know whether i like it that much though. probably will show up well in singapore.
still too empty car. like a canvas with a few background colours, but missing the rest.

I totally agree. I would only change the Honda to the red as well. The Lotus last year looked horrible with hardly an inch without a sponsorship name.
I'd say revive a Mclaren "tradition" writing Fernando/Jenson on the sidepods.

+1 on this idea

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️
