Seriously?

I'd assume it's a test livery.

I like that; far more interesting than anything else that has been launched.

I do hope it isn't a test livery and is their official scheme.

Side pod entry looks tiny on that as well.

[Acepaint]

Looks like Alonso is on the lh rear wing............

As much as I love it and it would be awesome there's about as much chance of that Ferrari running in silver.

Loving the Red Bull test livery, but in reality, it's not going to stop the other designers/engineers identifying the design features etc is it?

[towser44]

From the BBC website re the Red Bull

"What they could not hide, though, was that the car bears a strong resemblance to last year's from the cockpit back, and that the nose combines much of last year's Ferrari"

Hopefully not too much of a resemblance if they want a successful season

No surprise but Merc are sticking in the laps, already faster than last years times.

Alonso still in street clothes.

BBC "Nico Rosberg is 2.6secs clear of the next fastest man - Daniel Ricciardo in the Red Bull."

So while some people were getting het-up about paint jobs Merc just carried on with the job of making a fast car.

Ferrari looking very slab sided from the airbox back

[towser44]

Alonso out on track

[TerzoNeil]

not a great start for the honda engine

Found this on twitter. Presumably a camera phone, but I like the way that the Rocket Red highlights seem to have morphed into Papaya Orange.

[MiniMan64]

Are the wheels smaller this year something?

There's some very odd looking proportions going on there!

I didn't think Force India were coming?

[fatboy69]
