This is a winter livery, until Vodafone is cleared from the Maranello contract.

From F1-Live:

"The orange is synonymous with the origins of McLaren, as the team ran its Formula One and CAN-AM racers in the colour for a number of years starting with the M5A in 1968."

Who says the Ronster is a monster?

    It is easier to see the shape of the car - I like the color as well.

    LAst time McLaren tested with an orange car was when the livery changed from Marlboro red and white to the West silver livery. I'm curious what the new Walker livery will look like. But I have no problem keeping it this colour.

    I thought Vodafone would be on the car from 2007?

    To "old Yanks" such as myself.... this is the true McLaren colors.... McLaren ran their CanAm cars in this color and also their Indy cars as well.... during their "Yardley" days the color orange was part of their paint scheme..... I would like to see them keep this paint scheme........ but sponsorship will dictate......

    as for Uncle Ron............. he still is a *&%#@$+!

    Don't hold back - tell us what you really thin about him.
  • Manni
    If I look at it long enough my eyes go cross eyed.

    I like it for 5 mins then I am looking for something more interesting to look at.

    Beat me to it.
    From the BBC:
    McLaren and Vodafone have announced a deal which will see the mobile phone company become title sponsor of the Formula One team.

    The deal will start in January 2007

    with the rumors of the De Beers diamond sponsership in the works for ferrari, there has been some speculating from journalist (read from atlas f1 grapevine article) that vodafone may be trying to get to mclaren a year early, with de beers taking over their sponsership in 06 rather than waiting till 07.

    however is it phillip morris that would be deciding this? as they are the ones who have the rights to the livery of the car?
  • Manni
    I hread the De beers story as well, but they came out a couple days late stating that was incorrect.

    Probably just means the deal is done.
  • Clown
    De Beers said on Pitpass they weren't even discussinf anything at all with an F1 team. Its all bullshit.

    BTW: Haug has said the car will be silver this year.

    You losers commented on this ?!?!?:hehe:
    I was going to yesterday as well. I was always writing my reply when I came to my senses.

    Viges is right. This is the WINTER livery untill Vodafona joins (in 2007).

    That means: WINTER TEST livery. Race season livery will be different. NEXT WINTER again this orange livery UNTIL Vodafona joins when 2007 season starts !!!!!

    :P You fell for it guys !!!!!;)
  • Ger
    As vodafones colours are Red and White could it be possible that..................?
  • Stan
    Wasn't Intel going to sponsor them in 2006?

    Another white-blue car on the grid?
  • salvo
    I like this colour. That car is beautiful
  • viges
    Vodafone may yet be on this year:
