Pissed off that Glock has been ditched. Can't afford to pay him? Easy solution, pack your bags and get out.

The team needs someone who can bring sponsorship to the team but surely if F1 is such a financial burden, they should quit the sport.

Ferrari ditch last years horrendous nose. Still not too keen on its looks though.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Like the new McLaren - a lot

 

[The Bear]

Both look the sam as last years to me. And the Lotus.

 

[Nando]

I won't like the look of a McLaren until they scrap the God awful paint job.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I like the silver - it looks very sleek. Saying that, McLaren should be red and white but the ruling on cigarette sponsorship sort of ended that

Mclaren's have been the best looking cars for a while, love the Lotus but there is a little too much red on it. I preferred the Ferrari with all red as opposed to the white wings and the Red Bull is always pretty dull. Looks like no-one is really changing the colours/looks of their cars too much this year.

It's not silver though, it's an awful chrome effect. The car itself was comfortably the best looking on the grid last season but I absolutely detest the chrome.

Bravo Sauber. That car is gorgeous.

[Carrotdude]

Absolutely love that.

 

[Wombat del combate]

That is a lovely looking car.

 

[Nando]

Eurgh, Red Bull. Comfortably the ugliest so far, with some awful new purple livery.

The press are seriously pissed off at their 'launch' too. No photos allowed.

Caterham still has a step nose so looks pretty grim, new Mercedes looks quite nice.

Just thought I'd point out there's a testing round up on the SkySportsF1 channel every night this week at 9pm. It's mainly driver interviews and only lasts for 15 mins.

But then straight after you get another 15 mins program of Ted Kravitz's Testing Notebook. It's a bit like his online post-race round up where he hangs around the garages and talks about all the teams. It's great stuff and he packs so much in. You can't beat a bit of Ted for F1 stuff. He really likes the look of the McLaren this year apparently.

 

[Nando]

I'd like to beat a bit of Ted. He's a twat. He's just about as big a McLaren fanboy as you can get.
