A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.
is it me or does this car remind a whole lot of a mclaren-livery? looks like a mix between the WEST livery, the vodafone livery and the classic white-red =D>
i like it!
won't be a fair fight with the caterham having renault engines that are nothing more than trashcans in the back tho.

The MR03 definitely looks like a step forward for Marussia. Hopefully the car's performance can match its' looks. If they focus on reliability they might get some good early season finishes considering the Renault-powered cars/teams are currently doing their best HRT impression!
In many respects the car still feels incomplete. The missing parts for the DRS being one of the most notable omissions. However, given the troubles many teams have had and Lotus just skipping altogether, I'll give them a pass for a slightly incomplete car. That said, it is still the most detailed Virgin/Marussia I have seen. Hopefully, we will see some timed laps tomorrow so we can see how the car performs mechanically.
At least if they are slow this year, they can look good while doing it!

If that translates into a Caterham challenger....I hope so. That Caterham is hidious
If the Renault powered cars are as problematic this season as they have been in this test, i'd say the marussia has a shot at taking on the Caterham, if only on the back of better reliability.

If Renault powered cars are problematic, Marussia will have a shot at all Renault powered team, not just Caterham.
