Does anyone have any pictures?

Apparently they have announced that the new livery is "Graphite Grey". I'm guessing this is a photoshop.

No pics yet I don't think. We know it'll have bright red in it somewhere.

I'd have thought Green Flag would be more to his liking

Is it trying to hide in the shadows now?

As long as either McLaren or Force India decide the two teams should run two separate/distinct liveries.

Just found this short video of Jenson and his "Graphite Grey" P1 outside the Hotel de Paris, Monaco.

Oh.

Are McLaren going for the most dull colour scheme of all time or just of the last hundred years?

It's hardly something to get the pulse racing, have the design team lost the pack of coloured pencils and didn't want to ask Ron to buy any more?

"Just shade it in with a 3B and I'll make up some guff about it looking good under lights..."

Job as they say, jobbed.

"The result is a dynamic, predatory, graphite-grey colouration, complemented by McLaren-dayglo 'Speedmarks' and keylines, reducing the reflection issues caused by our latest chrome-silver treatment."

Ron speak to the extreme!!!

In my mind the chrome is just being replaced with grey. And the black and red will be the same. So it'll still look st, just darker and even less noticeable.

I prefer the plain colours - devoid of sponsers plastered all over, but that's not a good omen. How long can they continue like this? Surely the road cars don't carry the f1 team?

I like this view of it. Really shows off the size zero rear end or whatever the official name is.
