I thought they were sorting the stupid noses for this season.

Looks like a very tightly packaged rear end, slim sidepods like last year, think this is going to be VERY fast in a straight line at least!

It looks like last year's car with the 2014 Mclaren nose photoshopped on.
That was my first impression.

Looks like Willimas have nicked Unilever's Rexona / Sure sponsorship from Lotus. Nice work Claire!

I also read rumours that Lotus are to be rebranded. Anyone know any more?

Seems they were carrying a lot of ballast last year and are aiming to use that weight in more useful areas to performance this year.

Not in so many words - the minimum surface area of the front most part of the car has been changed - basically this will be about as big as the regs will allow them to be

That was my thought. Bad news for Lotus if correct - I haven't read anything about Lotus picking up any new sponsors. Not that I would expect to, after the abortion they had last last season.

And Williams have picked up Hackett as kit supplier, or "apparel", as you seem to have to call it in F1 - honestly, if they can't even call clothes clothes, what hope is there for making the sport more accessible to ordinary fans and dropping the jargon like prime and option? What's wrong with hard and soft FFS? Regardless of that, Williams should have some tasty (although no dount heinously expensive!) gear for sale this season.

I can see them being the number one challenge to Mercedes this year, really hope they can grab a win or two. I don't think there's anyone who doesn't want to see Williams back on top again.

I wonder what 'kit' is called at McLaren?

Combined Team Personel Branding Platform and Modesty Protection Devices?

I hope the supplier is better than last year. I ordered a Williams polo from gp legends in June of last year. It was the middle of November before gp legends were able to get hold of them! According to the email exchange I had with some one from gp legends they were let down by 3 different suppliers throughout the year and basically had no idea when they were going to get the merchandise until the day it arrived.

The polo shirt is rather nice though so it was worth the wait.

Ron used to call it Combined Livery Inter-Team Organised Racing In Style until someone pointed out to him that the initials spelt clitoris.
