That would be nice, but with Mobil right now they barely get a decal on the car. If it's a similar setup I'm not sure it won't be more of the same. Ron wants a lot of damn money to allow you to paint the car not blend in with the pavement grey.

Ron is a bit of a jackass then.

Whoah, is that for real? Did McLaren get a title sponsor? I would so love to see them make good looking cars again.

The matte portion of the Manor is another hidden design gem



Not a great pic but most pics don't show it at all. I think that, if they had a sponsor, that would be the best looking car on the grid. It's just too plain without any capitalist markings on the side.

Ferrari & Williams are my favorites of the current cars in terms of graphics. Renault's is good too, the rest are meh to me.

Force Indias isn't bad.

I absolutely love the Manor livery. The orange/blue/matte = near perfect. Bright, fun car to look at.

Also, I LOVE this detail.

I like the Redbull/Toro Rosso livery. I think it's good branding.
I love the Martini livery, because of the history.
I like the Mercedes "livery" because I like Silver cars

But mostly I don't really care that much.

Also, for a while (not sure how long) I had only heard the Brits who call F1 in the states talk about Manor, and had never seen it written down. So I thought it was Manna. Learn to enunciate David Hobbs, you marble mouthed wanker!

You should probably pay more attention when they're showing the results, lineup etc. It shows quite clearly 'Manor'

I did see it on the screen at some point. But I don't pay attention to the backmarkers results.

I care way too much about liveries. I'm a bit obsessed with design/aesthetic, so a good one is incredibly satisfying...whereas bad ones are just expected.
