Is this the new Renault?
Like the livery.
Low nose.



And here's the new Merc W02

I hate to admit it but if thats the Renault, Sticker Makers Co. aka Group Lotus have done a pretty decent job.

How did you find these?

Is it just me or is the engine cover of the renault have a negative gradient to it? If it is, i would say its new because i dont remember seeing it last year.

The black and gold is a brilliant colour combination but basically they've just copied the JPS but it doesnt look anywhere near as good. And the red's wrong.

Funny how Total allow RB to make it their sticker blue but they wont let Renault make it any other colour...

What a waste, the Renault looked so nice last year. The Mercedes remains true as itself - just as ugly

Black and gold looks good! hopefully they get more 'big money' sponsors and drop a few penny stickers hehe
But both have gone for low noses, although the Merc still looks like an initial sketch.

The front wings in both look like they are last yr's... dont remember, but those things are getting quite elaborate.

Merc is boring. But I love that lotus/renault.

Yes I hope they take the red off. I'm pleased with the black and gold but would prefer they use last year's colour scheme.

Well they did say that the new R31 would be 'radical' but you can never be sure when the team says that because it's normally just to intimidate the other teams.

That's not the new Renault, it's still a restickered R30 that they're doing some promo work with. I'm 99.9% sure of it, it looks exactly the same as the old car.

Official Renault 'preview' here, but you can't really see anything properly.

So everybody got their knickers in a twist for nothing...

Yup, although that digital rendering of the Merc is also on their official site so we can safely assume that to be real!

We'll see a bunch of other new cars tomorrow anyway.

The Merc is a little bit hideous :/
