Why not both.

smr · 27 Jan 2015 at 16:09

Yeah of course both if possible ! But if it had to be one or the other, a black and white car would soon look good coming first

More black and white rumours coming to fruition?.... ^

Come on JB

DiCe! · 27 Jan 2015 at 17:28

JB and Alanso where on good form today, few jokes, laughs and banter. Was good to hear.

Black and white might work, wait and see.

I do like the T shirt, prefer the contrast compared to the grey and white. Will buy

White was the traditional colour for Japan in racing, so it wouldn't be surprising to see a predominantly white livery.

They'll be at each other's throats by China.

White was the colour of the first McLaren.

The t-shirt looks pretty decent, but I can't help worrying its going to be a dull livery. The black and white Saubers were meh. It could also end up looking like a panda.

Edit: hmm... white with black, and the silver highlights match the Alonso text on his overalls...

That could look good, although might look like a Williams from afar.

I dont really care if it is black and white as long as it's fast, as someone else said - I'd rather have a bland livery on the car vying for podiums throughout the season than a great looking livery struggling to make Q3.

Amen to that!!!

Although I quite like a predominantly black car with white txt etc

Ahhhh no red that sucks.

A very McLaren-esque video there.

was discussing that last night......that's all I have to say on the matter.

What @Scarbs reckons it will be:

And what could have been:

Gambisk · 28 Jan 2015 at 09:08

That first mock up looks like a low rent sauber.

Jono8 · 28 Jan 2015 at 09:33

No orange

utajoker · 28 Jan 2015 at 09:35

i reckon same design as last yeas but instead of the gray it will be white and fading to black on the pods.. pretty much scarbs to pic.

~Mike~ · 28 Jan 2015 at 09:35

White with a bit of black if done right will look good.

Just booked tickets for Silverstone

Taking Jenson for his Birthday present, he'll be 4.
