McLaren MP4-30 Pre-launch Speculation

Post

+1 very nice

Btw, another approach if they wanted to go retro would be like the Triple 8 V8 supercar Team who had a tribute livery.

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!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

reminds me of 2011 HRT...
livery looks messy and bland.
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Is that a new nose, young Jenson is picturing?
And maybe trying to tell us, the old livery is back? But not so sure about that though...

That has to be a 2015 nose. It looks nice. Now that twitter rendering seems like a very good guess right now.

Then there's the "we're not repeating history" thing so who knows? We'll find out soon :mrgreen:

I noticed that the video is filled with a lot of Whites and Reds.....even the rubics cube! Red n White with a cube of green (maybe a throwback to the earthworks livery?)

Did you notice the "Back to the Future" references?
Dear FIA, if you read this, please pm me for a redesign of the Technical Regulations to avoid finger nose shapes for 2016! :-)

That was me :)

I also created a this one, it's a two tone paint scheme (similar to the TVR colours) it is red but turns orange when the light hits. I wanted to incorporate Mclaren Orange and Honda Red, but it's quite tricky to make that combo look good so I came up with this idea.

Posted it in the speculation thread by mistake, do you think it's one more sign towards a red and white livery?

I think it is, too many clues already.

Don't be surprised if this is the livery :)

If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

Has anyone taken credit for that one yet? Looks very very convincing to my eyes.
