I quite like it, however in the absence of yet another weekend of terrible racing, fake overtakes, crap tyres, Lewis Hamilton’s hair, boring circuits and giving money to Sky...

At least it gives the moaners something to moan about hehe

So although this is a thread about car launches all we've really had so far are Merc and Red Bull doing shakedowns and a whole bunch of crappy looking liveries slapped on 2018 cars with some 2019 bits bodged on.

Can't wait for testing to start so we can see what we're really going to get in 2019 thumbup

Not sure testing will tell us much either, other than who is reliable. Still a risk of sandbagging, or in some cases "over performing" as cars do not need to pass scrutineering. It's not unknown for cars further down the grid to run underweight, etc when looking for sponsors...

Testing tends to only really show you who's in the st. Teams can sandbag and under-perform to hide themselves, but can't hide reliability woes or cooling bodges *cough*Mclaren*cough*.

Basically, just take it as another nice step out of the offseason and enjoy it for what it is.

If you have two, it isn't so good.

McLaren is my fave livery so far.

Fingers crossed it's a decent car. I used to be a McLaren fan but I have been finding them less and less likeable under the new stewardship and it's hard to see a path for them back to the front with the customer engine. Alonso destroy and exit coupled with weak leadership.

Cant see why you would give away that much space and therefore downforce. unless this is where the "innovative design not seen on an F1 car before" is going to be and they don't want spy shots of it?

Also car looks suspiciously like last years Ferrari.
