Or to read the press release more accurately
We don't have a title sponsor yet
The black and silver looks good if a little dull

On one hand, it looks like a back-marker new entry-level team car that's struggling to find sponsors. On the other hand, the black & silver looks very retro, sporty & mean..."ready for business".

Looks way better than the ugly chrome. Nice livery, and even better without red. I would prefer however if they had a silver McLaren logo on the top of the sidepods.

They desperately need some sponsors though...

Not sure if this is off-topic, I believe that it would be better if it where posted in the team thread.

That's a Headrest. And yes they rand the TG Heuer Logo at the Tests.

@Livery: I really like it. The lack of Red makes it even better imho. 8)

They could have done a better job of using the paint scheme to disguise the penis-nose though....

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Maybe they have a completely new Nose so there is no need for hiding. But i must say the Macca Nose didn't bother me much. It's not that ugly.

The Mobil 1 livery looks nice, but yet it really lacks a little of MCL red to go along with the black but once again not bad at all. =D>
