Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but doesn't it seem that there is a lot of red right where Vodaphone branding will go next year? Their corporate logo is red and white after all:

Knowing how Ron is, and him not wanting to seem like a sponsor would dictate anything to him, I wonder if this early "red" treatment to the car is in preparation for next year? I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I'm curious....

How's this for a conspiracy theory: If McLaren starts out with several podium's this year, the other drivers will start complaining that the car is too reflective and is inhibiting their vision.

I think the new livery is awesome. Can't wait to see it in person on July 2nd!

Chrome!!!! I like!

Hey NOLA,
I'm a native New Orleanian. Born and raised. We lost the house in Lakeview. My folks came up to Louisville to live with me for a few months. They've bought a place in Baton Rouge now.

I'll be back down next week.

Sweet. Say sorry to your folks for me... ces't levee! My house is for sale if they want it!

Here's a real life pic of the MP4-21 in full chrome livery!

More...

A few more...

Here's the last of them...

Awesome! I think it looks great! A lot less reflective than the renderings.

Nice!

looks even better in the testing pictures.. i see they painted the MP4-20B.. cant wait to see it in person

Enjoy the USGP

Very Cool!

Bella, Bella, Bella! I love F1. Maybe it's better that it's not as popular as NASCAR. This way I can have it all to myself!

I'm sure that's the case.

I'm glad that they decided to change the "corporate" branding, the chrome is pure sexiness. Truely Silver Arrows now, eh?

they change the front nose... PDLR...or i think they are using last years version but with the new colors....

you fergot that one nola !

Dammit!

While the new livery is truly awesome, the new nose still reminds me of an Aardvark though.

Hey, any other MBWorld members going to the USGP?

I'm pretty sure i'll be attending either the USGP or the one in montreal. Do you have plans of attending ?

I am going to try to do all of the North American ones this year......

really clay ? hmm i was thinking of going to both since they are fairly close and they are back to back...maybe we can meet clay

Rumor has it that I may have the big yacht in the Great Lakes with a bunch of friends and business associates to do those two races....

Maybe you guys would get invited to come on board and do the races with us.....

Maybe. No promises. We'll see how plans progress.....

But it sure would be fun, huh?

I'm in, I'm in!

I usually do the USGP every year. Would love to do both races! I know it's a long shot, but keep us posted. I plan on buying tickets within the next month.

actually Indianapolis is a little far from me, I am going to be at the Canadian Grand Prix.. already got my tickets and hotel booked

not really a fan of the track at Indianapolis to be honest, but I would like to check it out one year.. but the date of it this year makes it difficult
