F1 2015

And Mclaren is out of the box, bit disappointed by the colour scheme given Honda are back and still no title sponsor by the looks of it...

It's a pretty car compared to 2014, not sure about the red mirrors though, plus I suspect that nose will shorten after a few races to get more flow through the centre section.







Merc's 06 was unwrapped early for a pre-test filming day-





Just subtle tweaks so far- nose lowered to meet the new regs and a few other minor details.

Sauber's take on a 2015 car is a colourful affair, too many going with black/silver/grey this year, and a rather big nose too-

Ooooh, I rather like that, explains why Naser got the drive rather than Palmer who trounced him in GP2... money money money.

Ferrari hoping to be first to cross the finish by a nose?








Also....... Alfa Romeo badges???

Some nice details on the Toro Rosso STR10-







Elegant monkey seat, along with tiny sidepods and big undercut-



Huuuuuuuuge airbox!

Guess that is the trade off, if you shrink the pods you still need cooling air from somewhere. Looks good though, possibly the nicest yet. Only Williams so far going with a stuby version of last year's conk.

Looks like it, for now. I believe the 2015 Marussia was looking like going down a similar route, but I guess we won't see it this year unless they get the funding?

RedBull have gone for a distinctive "camo" livery for testing-





Stubby nose-



Couple of tweets-

Been watching testing times. Merc looks bulletproof stomping round, ferrari showing quick times but then they often flatter to deceive. The others finding their feet and macca floundering like all did this time last year. No surprises so far.
