So it is black and silverm that would explain why the sidepods have been hidden all week.

Skeeter · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:08

Err... so for a McLaren Honda new era they have gone with a Vodafone McLaren Mercedes livery....

OK Ron.

I wonder how long they spent on that red stripe? and still no main sponsor, at least the stupid yellow SAP logo is gone.

DiCe! · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:12

I like it except for the mirrors......

gord · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:13

Why doesn't it have a nose nipple?

benhaha85 · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:13

Finally, a half decent looking nose.

DiCe! · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:18

JB's lid is very throwback

smr · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:19

Nice

I like. The wing mirrors need to be black or silver though.

Gambisk · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:19

looks a lot more cohesive from the top, the other shots made it look like the stripes stopped at the cockpit

Nismo · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:20

Be fair. It must have took 27 board meetings to agree on that red stripe.

I think it looks OK if bland, top shot is nice.

Janesy B · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:20

No idea why they still stick with silver, I think they need to employ the services of a few of the people that do the mock ups. They always look better.

Flibster · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:20

Well that was worth the wait.

*sigh*

DiCe! · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:21

That top down view looks good.
Vodafone must be rubbing their hands as they will get mentioned loads.
The rear end looks tight! *phanar*

blues_r_best · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:22

In honor of having Alonso back they've recreated the look of the 2007 car?

I don't really like it from the pictures so far.

smr · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:24

The Coke bottle rear end looks amazingly tight, wow.

DiCe! · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:24

I'm torn. The official mock ups I've seen where completely different.
I have always liked the chrome though....

It looks "Like a McLaren" which I suppose is what they are after....

smr · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:27

Glad they sorted out the weight allowance this year, Jenson must be a bit heavier than Alonso!

I agree it's in keeping with the recent Mclarens, some of the mock ups look good but some with the orange etc. were just never going to happen.

Kimi · 29 Jan 2015 at 12:28

That Mclaren Mercedes looks great. Oh hang on..
