...and we all know the story of the original "Silberpfeil"! :wink:
Easy on the Appletini!

That livery is horrendous.
Bring back wider rear wings, V10s, and tobacco advertisements

It's growing on me! I have to say I like it when the car is on track. But it must have been one of those close decisions for Mclaren (Ron included) whether to go with it or not.

Great observation!

That engine has overheating problems and most likely due to oil overheating.

I don't see that the red is that far removed from the old livery red, the difference is that there is simply more of it.

Yeh you're right. The red that has appeared on the car for some time already is actually fairly bright, fluorescent-type red. But amongst all the black and silver, it was toned down a little. Now it's plastered all over the wings it looks a little garish!

I'd prefer a deeper red. It would contrast the chrome better, and look more classy.
