I love the new Sauber design. Some reason, it brings back shades of the previous blue Sauber, last seen in 2005 (ten years?).

classic Sauber blue from 2001

See, I am seeing it. The lighter blue excluded...Great to see Sauber's Blue return. I prefer that livery to the basic white livery.

Here's Will the journo's view of the lost opportunities by the livery designers to come up with sompething special.

Perhaps if Johnny Walker was still their title sponsor.

The Toro Rosso looks good.

Hard to make any judgements based on that angle, nose doesn't look bad though and I like the colour scheme.

The fan designs are always the best, there's some insanely good ones out there.

For some reason I've never liked the bull artwork on the engine cover.

Different view.

how tight is the packaging at the back end!

Red Bull testing in camo. I think they should keep this its COOL!!!

scarbs reckons they're hiding something with this livery, and he's on a mission tonight to draw it and try and find out what it is.

This is nice: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/30916429, montage of all the new cars so far.

The McLaren livery will change this year...So it seems the 2006ish Livery is temporary too...

[racechick]

Yes was just about to post thatLiam. I hope they go radical! Orange and black or red and White.

I actually prefer it to Sauber's 2005 livery, and it's definitely better than last year's. Still not amazing though, IMO.

First time I have seen these new liveries. A bit disappointed with McLaren though, Thought they would do something a bit different with the return of Honda but all they did was give it a hint of red, other than that its still same old livery.

As has been mentioned already, Ron has indicated that this livery is not permanent.

Meanwhile, McLaren chief executive Ron Dennis added that the car's livery - standard silver and black for now - would change at some point during the year, although he would not say when.

Maybe when they announce the title sponsor promised at the end of 2012?

Well...

Both acceptable! Both better than the current, quite nice looking, but bland and not making any statement, sort of car. Come on McLaren! Get radical

[stonemonkey]

I like the orange.

[racechick]

That's definately my preference. Orange and some black. Nice!
