I don't like it. Or that other black one I have seen on the forums aswell.

They should bring the White & Red livery back.

Spyker pulled of orange beautifully. No doubt I'd like to see a similar colour scheme on McLaren again.

to be honest i'm good with either the black, the orange or the rocket red an white but i think its gonna be confusing with two silver cars unless there very diffrent, perhaps in the high-speed shots at least.

i got confused slightly with the Force India's and the Mclarens in 2008 - remember watching Silverstone and seeing a force India spin thinking it was LH or Hekki.

Am i the only person who actually likes the livery they run with now?! I mean i would love them to go with a red/white livery - but orange just cheapens the whole company imo. And it really doesn't go with there work ethos either.

I'm just glad we wont be seeing the Panasonshit livery on the grid this year.

With the Petronas deal, they'll probably have to plaster that turquoisey blue over the car. And the Merc will be a continuation of the BGP-001 i guess, so hopefully they'll look completely different anyway. The amount of times i've nearly had a heart attack seeing a Force India flying off the track thinking it was a McLaren doesn't bear mentioning!

How would orange cheapen it? In my opinion, it would just be a case of showing their heritage.

Yes, it has. I wish Eddie had never sold the team

Toro Rosso has gold on their car. Red Bull has yellow. Also, Toro Rosso has a closeup shot of a red bull. Red Bull simply has the Red Bull logo.

I wouldn't mind if it was a blatant rip of. That orange, grey and black scheme was dope!!

I agree! Too bad the car was a dog though.
