I have only one problem with it:

I dunno nothing about the new livery but I'm sure that it will be the same as the MP4-31 (black) but with more orange in it, instead of red. Orange and black. More black than orange.
Well, how my mate explained it, I sorta thought... wait a minute... that's exactly like a Force India, but then he told me it's kind of MP4/4'ish where the white is light grey and the Marlboro red is orange and black. He also said the cockpit part is orange, but it doesn't run down towards the back. It's just that part of the cockpit, which is orange. He also couldn't tell exactly of the pictures he took if it was red or orange, until he zoomed in on it. So maybe it's kind of a orange with tint of red. Perhaps a pearlescent of orange and red. That, I can't confirm tho.
However, team wear has changed as well. Those ugly checkered flag kind of designed polo shirts are now gone and replaced by a grey polo with black, orange accents and sponsors in white.
I can tell it's reliable. My mate works for Honda a few years already. He's working overtime at the Brussels motor show this past weeks. Friday Stoffel came by on the Honda stand as a special guest to do some publicity stuff and so on. He tried to socialize with him, but I guess Stoffel has moved up the ladders already since the press all wanted a piece of him. Back in 2014 when Stoffel was still in the lower formulas, he came in his office where my mate works and shook everyones hands, socialized and such. Back then he was just that Belgian talented driver who works for McLaren. Now two years later, he's in that second seat full time. How time flies...
