Dont know why, the livery reminds me of Midland.

Much has been made about the fact that Wirth Enginering have designed the whole car using CFD and not a wind tunnel. Stange that what came out of the computer looks remarkably like all the other cars launched so far.

Still, look quite nice, pretty paint job at least. I hope they have a succesful season, although not too succesful as Beardie's gurning face would be too much to bear.

I quite like it.

For some reason the rear quarter reminds me of the old McLaren West livery, even though it looked nothing like that

Its not white and red in some combo, so I'm OK with it! Can we have some interesting colours soon? LotusProton, I'm looking at you for inspiration!

I'd love to see some lap times, even unofficial ones.

Until it hits the track during the next official pre-season test I think they are limited to doing a few up and down runs to check any major issues. Don't think they can do "serious" laps yet.
