Thumbs down

Looks kinda ugly in these pictures. It's neither silver arrows nor the classic white-and-red of Senna's and Prost's Mclarens.

I agree.. i wish they brought back the classic white-and-red like back in Sennas' and Prost time... simple, yet beutiful...i think they are wasting time on livery and should spend more time on designing a proper car!

i think it looks great,
there is no way a car like this with whichever colours they have on it wont look good.

I also do agree that they should focus on the development of the car more. The main point is how is the car going to react with the bridgestone's.

I would guess they are a close approximation. I don't think you'll see the final car and its livery until the official launch in early '07.

Like it or not, FA will bring to McLaren a winning spirit... it will take 2 seasons to surround himself with his old Renault team (mark my words). He will be WDC again in 2009 and probably beyond. He is pulling a Schumi-Ferrari if you haven't noticed.

it willl be interesting to see how ron dennis will manage f alonso, for sure they will have a competitive car next season, it will be interesting to see other drivers winning now that schumi is out, meaning alonso will have a psycholgical boost.

I hope kimi crushes him
or maybe massa,
fizi unlikley

maybe toyota or bmw drivers will make an impression
or j button.

anyway too early to speculate

I don't really see Fernando as being that arrogant. Or am I missing something?? I mean, we had Montoya, the biggest a-hole in F1 for a while.

In the AM (After Michael) era, all aspiring champions will have to be keen on team-building and surrounding themselves with the best engineers, technicians, strategists, etc.

You're driving with one hand tied behind your back if you don't bring the best people to your team. In some ways, F1 is more of a team sport than ever before.

"Classic white and red?"

Kind of goes with having Marlboro sponsorship, don't you think?
