    I agree. Think they could just switch the gray for white and it would make a world of difference. But I think that geometric pattern makes their shark fin look better than others. Weirdly, to me it neither stands out nor looks like they're trying to hide it...don't know why.

    I like the new livery much more than last year, also like the new McLaren's look.

    I guess that's all we get from RB today.

    I think the new McLaren livery looks great in the light of day (away from studio lighting).

    Apparently diffusers are shy.

    Well, not all of them. Haas less coy, I guess.

    Despite all the Red Bull branding on the Toro Rossos, it should be much easier to distinguish an RB from a TR this year.

    Toro Rosso looks fantastic. Actually me thinks all the cars look pretty darn good, no real pigs at all!

    I'm looking at this picture and trying to decide whether there will be any reason to complain, like last year, that it will be hard to distinguish one from another on the track.

    What do you think? Maybe McLaren vs Renault depending on the lighting? It's almost like the teams had a meeting this year and worked it out ahead of time. I think the only trouble I'll have this year is distinguishing between teammates.

    I think they are a big improvement over last year, looking forward to OZ next month.

    Looking closely at all the cars the RB has a distinct lack of aero bits in the front mid section compared to the others. I can't think Newey and crew missed the boat there. So he must have found something everyone else missed. You can see large hi res images at the RB site. It looks like the front floor is lifted like the Force India to put more air under it. Also there appears to be a structure on top of the floor between the rear wheels, but it's hard to see. I can only think it is there to compress the air some to speed it up as it exists over the defuser. Kind of like the double defuser.

    Now Merc are testing a small shark fin but it looks like it serves an additional function as it is open at the top.

    The T-wing club continues to grow.
