    Very narrow the RB13. Big hole in the ''thumb'' nose, I assume an aggressive S duct.

    Apart from that and the bulge in correspondance of the front push rods, likely hiding hydraulic wizardry, looks pretty conventional to me

    Not sure I can agree with you. The 1995 McLaren was widely acknowledged to be one of the worst looking F1 cars of all time and frequently shows up on the lists of ugliest F1 cars due to its horrible dorsal fin with goofy extra wing on the dorsal fin. All of the new cars other than the Mercedes so far have had the goofy looking dorsal fin. I know it is effective, the WEC cars have been running it for years, but it still looks awful.

    Expect it to be very, very different come tuesday ;)

    STR might go for a light blue livery....if so they'll probably have the best livery of any team this year!

    The Haas is a pretty decent looking car. Front end copy of Ferrari last year, quite like their sidepod and coke bottle shape. Pleasantly surprised.

    But I've also realized how very little sponsors they (and others...) have! I count just 3, including themselves!

    At the end of the day Massa is a Formula 1 driver and a good one at that... what have you done?

    Going from hideous to ugly is not something to celebrate.

    This is classics PR overreach. They built up this "big deal" of moving to orange and then disappointed with a rather poor design.

    But it was the build up that really got them into trouble. They should have said nothing and sprung it on people. Everyone was expecting more.

    I thought it was going to be the "sugar free" livery in light/sky/baby blue color

    So everybody is always up McLaren's @rse over lack of sponsors, why not HAAS?

    What is going on there?

    Regarding the McHonda; The orange is too dark. True McLaren orange is much lighter. In my opinion, that's the source of the disappointment among the tifosi.

    Same here, someone made a livery for STR with the Sky blue and it was absolutely beautiful. This is a bit of a downer in comparission.

    To the naked eye the STR looks a lot shorter than others (can't comment much on the Red Bull given the 1 picture we have!).

    Fingers crossed for a successful testing season by the 'bulls and that they can give Merc a real run for their money.
