I thought they were ditching the silver? Not surprised Ron approved another lame duck livery.

In other news, my buddy let me read the internal email that CNN sent out regarding their sponsorship of McLoser.

here's a snippet

The partnership with McLaren is more than a badging exercise, exciting though that is. This is a long-term smart marketing partnership built on a common philosophy of excellence, expertise and evolution. It includes corporate entertainment opportunities for us and our business partners, access to high-tech conference facilities at McLaren’s state-of-the-art Thought Leadership Centre at its UK headquarters which the network will use as a broadcast location for a series of programs, and a host of other synergies we’re still formulating.

Wow, McLaren...

Could get used to it, but everyone was thinking more championship white.

Honda didn't pay Ron enough to paint the car Pearl Necklace white.

Perhaps there is a sponsor in the works that fits that color scheme. Verizon/Vodophone?

Ron-trickery? Probably to distract from potential performance (or lack there of?).

It would be kinda fun to watch FI give them a run for their money again.. lulz.

Anyone else notice Fred's back drop? Wonder if it really is to photochop some future sponsors, backdrops, etc.?

Just a greenscreen so they can strip out the backgrounds quicker.

Yup. No white base? I hope there's a twitter backlash and they change the livery. Good grief.

MP4-30 is like that really hot girl that turns into a starfish in bed. Not bad, but waaaaaaaaaaaay below expectations.

10/10 would smang again doe.

I agree the livery is boring. Maybe this was just for the release the car. The red lines do follow the lines of the new front end?

Hoping they have something more exciting than this in March.

Was kind of hoping to see a Mclaren F1 LM in that B2TF skit.

Much disappoint with Mac/Honda livery. Hopefully it's just a teaser and we get something much prettier.

That video is horrible. Thanks falcon
