I wonder how Mclaren never bothered to notice that it looks like a HRT?

[celicawrc]

You know when things have become pretty desperate, when a team has to put their own logo on the rear wing!

What next? A big 'Jenson' and 'Fernando' on the side pods...

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

Almost looks like there is a Porsche link there - 959 as the number plate on the P1 and OPC the plate of the 650! Edited to add that clicking the link at the end of the video to the blue P1 it shows Lewis Hamilton's with 911 as the number on the plate.

I think the new colours look a lot better than the scheme used so far this year. In practice it is probably difficult to come up with a colour scheme which hasn't been used by a team previously so just have to go with something they feel is appropriate for them. At least it can't be confused with the Force India now this year.

HRT was much more reliable than the Mc-Honda is!

[DanielSan]

As a positive at least we can now see the Mobil and Honda logo's on the engine cover now.

I suspect for Jenson and Fernando it's more a case of "I dont give a st what colour it is, just make it faster and stop breaking down"......

The car will still run like a bag of nails whatever the colour scheme. Whilst I feel sorry for Jenson having a rubbish car, Alonso deserves everything he gets for jumping ship like a rat when things didn't go well at Ferrari only for Vettel to enjoy Ferrari's turn in performance. Long may it continue.

Just seen it. I used to think that the West colour scheme was as great as the old JPS.

This just seems to smack of a complete lack of imagination and possibly act as a heat sink in hot climates.

Their scheme is currently lying third behind Manor and Sauber IMHO.

Thank you, I rarely laugh out loud.

You are all so cynical.

Instead we should align in cohesive understanding of the collective engagement of the matrix structured associates of the Paragon Technical Centre who have, going forward, invested considerable energy in deciding, from the portfolio of available options, that this step change is the one that will be the enabler towards the ultimate destination of the podium places.







But personally, I'd have put the effort into finding about eighty horsepower or so.

Thanks Ron

The ART GP2 team has the same new look, complete with McLaren logo swooshes on top of the side pods
