i might be mistaken here, but, wasn't that HRT?

and, since the McLaren already has some resemblance to them, should they invoke more similarity to that failed outfit?

in all honesty though, i was one quite liking that dark grey-bright red livery on the HRT's. never liked the white-red versions, and the white-red-gold ones were absolutely horrible.

edit:

ah i see it yes, forgot about this

personally, i'd rather have them write 'Mclaren' on the sidepod really big.

I think either way it would be better than what they (don't) have now. The sidepods look so plain.

I was randomly looking for f1 news on google and found 2 news about mclaren changing the livery to red and white in GP of SPAIN.

http://periodismodelmotor.com/mclaren-c ... 015/90964/

They refer to "english media" but I can't find any news related.

i can't see a livery change until next year now. Personally, I think it makes sense to keep this livery as 2015 is a transition and testing year. McLaren probably don't want to introduce an exciting new livery and have it associated with a lot of problems and back-marker status. I stil think Red/White will come into effect when the partnership is stronger and the team is challenging the front again.

Anyway I like their philosophy of keeping a "brand status" in the livery, like the Mclaren Logo.

Just do it better Mclaren.

I think right now, the livery looks good except for the blank sidepods. I just wish they would fill it with their logo, McLaren, or Honda.

Having blank liveries opens the door very much for companies to "dream" about having their logo on the McLaren, it implies there is all the space for sponsors to get on their car. With a livery full of garbage text it looks full already.

Thus, a blank livery would encourage big time sponsors.

I would love it if they were to make the Front Mounted Cameras and Driver Number Red [-o<

Also, change the Rear Wing to Silver [-o<

If mclaren gets a new title sponsor, I'm sure they'd have a new livery the very next race. whether it's Spain or 2018, doesn't matter. Until then, I expect the same dismal black, gray, and rocket red airbrushing.

Problem is there doesn't seem to be any news or even rumors about possible title sponsors, so I'm guessing it'll be a while.

No one is going to want to put their name on this car until it starts performing week in week out

No one is putting their name on this car period. Not even Mclaren.

Saw the WSR this weekend. The Mclaren livery looks great on the WSR-cars!

In my opinion the livery of this year is truly horrible. Bad taste was used to make it!

New revised livery for Spain. Won't be Papaya Orange as Ron has said previously that that would be going backwards. The brand is dayglo red and will surely feature more that just those stripes and mirrors.
