Not yet, I'm assuming we will see it on the 28th

Agree that the wheels livery look fantastic and what they should have been through the entire GE era. The sponsor stickers look a little haphazardly slapped on which I hope will the resolved in the final livery. Loving the gradient on the nose which also makes it over, I hope.

Technically, I think you will see a very different car on Wednesday though the front wing here looks more developed than other renders

Any official statements confirming they will start from Wednesday and not tomorrow?

Ah, a bit subtle, but that's pretty much a confirmation on running dates.
Not sure if Wednesday is better than Tuesday with regards to the weather, but as it stands right now, both days will probably have some rain.

At a glance it actually seemed as a 28 to me as well, but the post appeared in my feed on X again and after looking at it closer, it just says says 26-30. It's only showing the date range of the test.



I suppose there's still a small chance they could go out tomorrow.

Sh*t Color Scheme...

I like it very much, so people are obvious different.

[Balalu]

I'm not a fan of black (unless paired with white), but this actually looks good.

Also, no one seems to have mentioned; gloss paint!

[mwillems]

Love the testing livery. The Google wheels look so much better, the Mastercard logo pops on the black.

Minor tweak for me, if the Mclaren logo was gloss papaya it would be perfection.

Anyone else reckon the areas that look dark grey in the render might actually be chrome?

It could be dark chrome, yes. But overall, this livery is giving me 1998 West McLaren Mercedes vibes!

McLaren is yet to make a decision on whether it'll run today, due to the inclement weather expected in the afternoon.

[FittingMechanics]

It's kind of important to make the decision early, they could have run for 45 minutes already.

I'm guessing they will skip today.
