Looks quite good in an orange type of way. Now if only they were sponsored by Orange...

I think they picked the wrong mobile phone network giant, don't you?

It's nice to see them being sentimental and remembering their history.

It'll probably revert to the familiar black and silver come the season start though.

 

[jenk]

hasnt the very tip of the nose always been that colour.

Far more interesting than the unveiling of the new V8 Toyota, watched it on motorsTv or eurosport, covers came off the new car and...........it's identical to last years car ..........and no you weren't allowed to see the engine bay

The Ferrari was launched today and it's no different either. Still got the Vodafone logos on it, so obviously McLaren weren't able to secure their sponsorship a year early like they were trying to do. Got a press release in from Martini Rosso making a big deal about re-entering F1 and their history, only to find that all they have is a wee logo on the nosecone.

Its merely a test livery that echoes the 1960's Mclaren cars.

Think you will find the ferrari is very different machine from last year if you look at it closely - pinched ideas from other teams...... nice wing mirrors

Think they had a few shots of it testing on http://www.f1technical.net/

New Renault looks good.

Only thing that looks really different on the Ferrari is the wing mirrors on the very edge of the side intakes.

The new Williams is out.

In a nice metallic blue and white colourscheme.

 

[Cadwell]

Ah... A McLaren in PROPER team McLaren racing colours. I haven't seen that in a long time... Mind you, there is this one at Donington http://cadwell.fotopic.net/p19936322.html

 

[F2 Stu]

Possibly the best looking Mclaren of them all.

Some new paint technology they've created!

 

[F2 Stu]

Thats super sexy.

The prominent red is there in preperation for when vodaphone starts its sponsership in 07.

 

[Cadwell]

I wonder what will happen when they get it out in the sunshine and then work out that it's practically impossible to photograph... I can't see the sponsors liking that much! lol
