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...
I think that's close tho. I think it's that orange. It's darker and somewhat red. So I think that's right. We just need to change the chrome color.f1316 wrote:WaikeCU wrote: Guys, I can confirm how the 2017 livery will look like on the Mclaren.

So from what you're describing I'm imagining something a bit like this...:
http://s30.postimg.org/ehgstn341/mclaren.jpg
...Only that it would be more grey than silver and the orange a bit more orangey; perhaps the chevron around the cockpit is more like the McLaren swoosh shape?
If I had the photoshop skills, I'd show you what I mean - that could be quite nice though.
That image highlights the monumental error mclaren did when they ditched the chrome. Every sponsor would look amazing on it and they could have been the chrome cars that were instantly recognizable forever.f1316 wrote:WaikeCU wrote: Guys, I can confirm how the 2017 livery will look like on the Mclaren.

They could be actually teasing the new livery on this second image. https://twitter.com/McLarenF1/status/824945686575722496f1rules wrote:well they posted this on their facebook, did this car originally have that orange/red gradient or they photoshopped, no matter ties in well what you describe, sec, i dont know how well thought out their social media are but this pic could be a teaser of the three colors to come

I Really like that. And it's very Repsol inspired. Repsol McLaren Honda, doesnt sound too bad
True, this probably doesn't have orange. By the looks, I think that's a T, whereas I was talking about a polo. Two different things.Scuderia1967 wrote:
