Is it not just the car reveal?

Full 2015 livery to come later?

From Skyf1 blog

According to McLaren, the new car 'is a thoroughly refined evolution of last year’s McLaren, it is the only chassis on the grid to be fitted with Honda’s RA615H Hybrid power unit, and it features an evolved colour scheme that firmly contextualises McLaren’s brand in the 21st century.'

I remember back in 1998 when Williams got the awful Winfield sponsorship thinking that they would never win a race in that livery, same feeling applies to that above.

In more important news thanthe paint scheme, how tight is the arse end of that. Might be even slimmer than the Mercedes.

So where was it first reported online that Honda didn't want silver or chrome because of Mercedes associations, and that McLaren Honda would look different? hehe

Anyway, if that's the final livery, it's not good. Step away from the chrome paint, McLaren paint people.

I think the word naff now has a home and the home is the colour scheme. Still if it's goes well I think the livery will be forgotten.

Unbelievable to think Honda have said ok to that paintscheme.

Looks like a Vodafona era Mercedes!

Silver + Honda = Wrong

I've actually been excited for the unveiling of this, hoping it'll be red and white. Rubbish

No SAP logo on the sidepods?

The backend looks so slim, amazing really.

Ugh, so unbalanced and uninspiring. Highly disappointing if that is the final livery.
