According to Joe saward, Sony might be McLaren's new title sponsor. Orange livery?

Why would McLaren have an orange livery if Sony is their title sponsor?

EDIT - found the answer myself. I think Joe needs to get a few of his details right. Sony Computer Entertainment has an orange logo (well, combination of yellow and red...) whereas the main Sony brand and Playstation logos do not. It's a minor detail but this is typical of Joe, who gets most of what he reports wrong.

If Sony is the sponsor then we might see black/white livery. Something like this

Mclaren need to ditch their visual relation to Mercedes. No longer are they a Silver Arrow. They should become Orange and go back to their Mclaren roots.

this ^ will probably be the shape of the front end for all cars next season.

Mclaren looks horrible. Someone photoshoped what they think Ferrari could look like with a vanity panel. It looks like utter sex;

Especially as we are now having 15cm shorter front wings, like the 2009 spec!

Yes that does look nice

Caterham will also reveal its car on Jan 28, the day when the Jerez test will start .

Ferrari confirmed that they will introduce their new car at Saturday Jan 25

Assuming that's it (the front wing width looks right), I don't see the dreaded finger nose that people have been predicting.

Post by **tderias** » 15 Jan 2014, 19:09

It doesn't look like there's a step-nose. I hope its not just for publicity purposes, you know, unveil a good-looking car then put the stepnose on for the rest of the season because the 'aerodynamic department told us it was more aerodynamic'...
