Not a big change, but I do think the small change in the livery is for the better. There are too many formula 1 cars going with red as their predominant color I think, and white is a color you see a bit of in formula 1 too. I miss seing cars in yellow & green, turquise, purple, gold and even orange would stand out among the field more too and would be colors I would like to see in some f1 cars to add variety.

Still it is not the Red/White colors of Toyota that bothers me the most, they just look too ordinary. They could at least try to spice things up a bit with different style lettering, different shades of red or designs that show some action or theme rather than just look like a plain red/white car.
It simply lacks creativity.

Just as i thought, same old thing, nothing changed livery wise.
Thats the same livery now since they started in F1.
I suppose it was a bit too much to think they would actually change it, even just a little bit

So it looks like the car is even more innovative than the F1 F60, parts of design work like the gearbox comes still from the partnership with Williams? I can’t say if the front wing is really the best, it seems to use some little deflectors, and they curiously flow the air away from the tyres and the Ferrari doesn’t do it so (they do concentrate it over it). After all this preview, the back-end of the car seems to be very round, very fat loocking. Which is the layout of the back power train and suspension? The car seems somehow over-feeded!

It’s great to see both solutions, a front row car and a middle-group car Tomorrow with the McLaren I do not know what to expect!
