Honda & McLaren 2014 Formula 1

[Pupik]

This is CNN we're talking about.

James Earl Jones'd that for you.

McLaren didn't choose Fox News because they required a permanently waving American flag in the bottom-right corner of the endplate.

And eagles and stars and Lady Liberty. And the elephant or the donkey (I forget which one is Republican) and a red livery.

 

[Northstar]

Don't forget Michelle Bachmann as one of the drivers and a giant "Say No to Obamacare" on the sidepods.

But then where are they going to put all the British symbols, like Admiral Nelson and roast beef and Jeremy Clarkson?

Also, which part of Silverstone would be the "no-go zone" that the McLarens must avoid?

The podium.

I really hope McLaren don't go for another silver livery. They don't even have the Mercedes connection any more, and last year's car looked barely distinguishable from the Tyrrell from some angles.

The Tyrrell? I didn't know they were still a team.

If the Mclaren nose actually looks like this:

(Used the photo @prisonermonkeys posted)
I will go bonkers...

 

[RACECAR]

It won't, the new rules do not allow that nose length from what I've read.

 

[catamount39]

Dam...well hopefully it'll at least have that look (kinda like the Force India).

 

[Lizard]

I would love either orange or red and white. Red and white won't happen though as they don't have sponsorship from Marlborough.

Remind me... what colours were the factory F1 cars?

 

[Lizard]

Wait. You're right sorry.

 

[catamount39]

Can we get Mclaren orange?

 

[R5]

Wait. You're right sorry.

Dont loose hope!

 

[Fryto]

The Tyrrell? I didn't know they were still a team.

He's referring to the roots of what's currently the Mercedes team

 

[Hun200kmh]

Tyrrel --> BAR --> Honda --> Brawn --> Mercedes

 

[sems4arsenal]

Can we get Mclaren orange?

You know how much I want this? All of the wants.

 

[Pupik]

Tyrrel --> BAR --> Honda --> Brawn --> Mercedes

If you really want to go a smidgen further, you could tenuously add:
Matra (led by Ken Tyrrell from 1968-69) --> March (most of 1970, as their chief customer car entrant) --> Tyrrell (09/1970 through 10/1998)...

Force India could trace itself back to Jordan --> MidlandF1 --> Spyker...

Red Bull can go back to Jaguar, and earlier Stewart; Toro Rosso claims Minardi.

And of course, Lotus (II) <-- Renault (II) <-- Benetton <--Toleman

 

[05XR8]

That orange will depend on who the main sponsor is.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Definitely. The problem is that it doesn't really go with anything, unless a company is willing to have their name and logo appear in different colours.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Well, Orange could sponsor them, as they did with Arrows.

 

[R5]

Well, Orange could sponsor them, as they did with Arrows.

Or tropicana... well they do make orange juice

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Really? You're going to put orange logos on an orange background?

Which advertising agency did you two geniuses come from?

And the most funny one: Sauber --> BMW --> Sauber

 

[TheCracker]

Uncle Ben's.

Especially apt considering their new engine supplier.

 

[sems4arsenal]

They can be sponsored by orange is the new black.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

It seems McLaren have been having some fun with their Twitter feed:

Read into that what you will ...

 

[Roger the Horse]

An unexpectedly black and green livery it is then.

Anyway, are certain paint colours advantageous to run from a cooling perspective?

 

[R5]

Black sidepods, as with their '14 livery.
