New mclaren and mercedes

 

McLaren front end looks rather high.

 

As with every year nothing that's revealed on release day will end up being anything used during the year... Smoke and mirrors

 

I remember a few years ago someone saying pretty cars are normally fast...

That McLaren isn't winning any beauty contests.

 

Me like the mclaren nearly all black ( that sounds girly liking a car for it colour ).

 

Yeah - I thought the drop on the McLaren nose looks too abrupt compared to Merc and Ferrari

 

That was Ferrari I think.

 

Here's the new boy on the block.

 

Sauber "test livery"

 

The McLaren MP4-31 looks like it's made from Lego.

 

So, day 1 of tests is today and it's raining in Spain

 

Looks inviting

 

Plenty slide action in the new cars then

 

Manor MRT05.


Mercedes B Team?

 

Call it what you like but it certainly looks like the swords are out at Honda.

All senior managers prepare to commit seppuku

 

They like the quick snappy roll of the tounge titles.

New quali breaking news.

 

Sounds rubbish. Is quali a problem? It's lack of racing. Fuel tyres etc.

 

Ferrari fastest in testing for both days so far - are Mercedes sandbagging as usual? They are certainly clocking up the miles for reliability.

 

They probably are but it seems that reliability and being fast will probably win the championship
