Neither. It looks awesome and far better than the ugly suggestions we've been reading about for the past few months.


This! I like this way better than those stepped travesties from the recent past.

You're all a bunch of sexists to be honest, seeing dicks in everything :p

Yeah, I'm surprised by this. Now Maldonado's sponsor has taken this spot.


I doubt Total would want to be on the same car as PDVSA.

Most of the red parts were Vodafone from 2008. Then GSK got on the rear wing for 2012 and now they've both buggered off.

That's right. I knew this already but forgot when I saw the car. Looking at the car now it appears there are few sponsors on the car at all. And yet McLaren were saying earlier in the week that they have a better operating budget than this time last year... hmmm...

That's what I thought as well. Whilst Lotus has quite some sponsors on their car and who seem to be the one in trouble.

Nah. I reckon it was Whitmarsh's salary, which has helped increase the cash flow.

I hear the whole fan-internet voting thing was a hoax. Apparently the name was determined way before fans even got to choose.

anyway, looking forward to see the new cars. Just a reminder of schedule (pardon the language, I'm sure the essential is understandable):

Johnnie Walker is still a sponsor. I think it's only Vodafone that's left.

Also noticed that Ettore Griffini and Ciaron Pilbeam have moved from Lotus to McLaren.

I don't see the future in the McLaren MP4-29 nor Lotus E22.

But I see it in Eifelland
