    All hail the Mclaren I can't believe it's not Mercedes MP4-Bergerac.

    I see no sponsors on the side pods and it's painted like a Mercedes, sometimes I wonder if Mclaren aren't just turning quietly into Minardi. The thing should be red and white.

    I'm quite surprised the teams aren't all copying Mercedes short spatula shaped nose cone from last year, it clearly worked.

    There's a rumor that the colour scheme may change once the final sponsors are in place

    IIRC the new nose regulations mean something about the Merc nose from last year is banned this year, I can't remember exactly what part of the nose it was though, but it could explain why teams haven't 'borrowed' it.

    So the nose Merc had at the start of 2014 that was almost level with the front of the wing is still legal, but the even shorter one they adopted in the second half of the season with the nose tip behind the front front wing isn't.

    Guess we know how the 2015 Merc will look then.

    I think the Merc and Macca both look sharp.

    But I counted only 7 sponsors on the McL. That's ridiculously low.

    Well, if the Williams keeps its nose like that, they look a little different.

    So the new Sauber is shown... and it's... blue.
    Photos here.

    Loads of space for sponsors on that car.

    That is quite different to previous years, I kinda like the sparseness of sponsers instead of having them everywhere.

    That's an improvement over last year's Handi-Vac

    That is ugly x1000, but I really liked the grey Saubers of recent years

    Is it just me or are the ferrari front brake ducts huge? They looks like they could swallow small children next to the Sauber ones.

    So the Sauber's blue (dah buh de dah buh dai)

    and the Ferrari's still red

    and they've all got giant great big noses except for Mercedes, who seem to have a slightly extended 2014 nose. At least they aren't all running strap-ons this year.
