The 2015 Formula One Season

The hooter on that thing... it's longer than Prost's.

Interesting to see the Alfa and Haas logos on it.

I fell in love with that Ferrari, and that's something that hasn't happened since 08. The nose is beautiful and reminding of the pre-09 cars, the black bits look amazing, the rims are so old school!

As for the Sauber, love it too, though it could've been better, with stripes a la Nasr's GP2 car. But I like a blue Sauber as much as I liked the grey and black ones. Reminds me of the Petronas days, though that blue was less bright.

Ferrari livery is nice looking, yet still looks too much like last years livery. As for Sauber, I think it's the first time since the pre BMW years that they have used any form of blue in the livery (2005 being the last time before BMW took over).

That Mercedes looks gorgeous. From the front at least, it reminds me of the McLaren MP4-13 and the subsequent beautiful designs of the late 90s/early 2000s which that car inspired.

The Sauber looks refreshingly different. It's the first post-BMW livery they've had which hasn't struck me as too minimalist/too boring/both.

The Ferrari is beautiful. I like what they've done with incorporating the Italian flag colours into the border. More black seems to be creeping in, but still not enough to stop the red from being dominant, and they compliment each other nicely.

Still way too straight though. It would need a modification - like what Alesi had done at the British GP in '91 when he hit Bernard. Then it would be a dead ringer.

Am I the only one who dislikes the Ferrari? It's tacky, the black looks cool but not the shape of the border they've made with it.

And the nose.. wtf? It's UGLIER than last year.



Mclaren --> Mercedes --> Lotus --> Sauber --> Force India --> Ferrari so far

Nah, I think both the Merc and Ferrari noses look better now. I prefer the continuous smooth curves, even if the nose sticks out past the front wing.
Last year they looked like they'd been sat on.

It's how far up the chassis what would normally be the bulkhead starts. The last cars to have such a long drop must have been the early 90s. I don't mind it - it's got a touch of the 640-643 era about it, which can't be a bad thing. It's just a shame it doesn't have the colour to match.

The Sauber is hideous. The livery and colour scheme simply does not work, which is a tremendous fail since the carlin in GP2 managed to make it look quite good.

There are rumours that the Mclaren livery is interim only and there will be a new one at the first test

I really hope that's true, I was very disappointed with the livery...

New STR





Not really any different from last year's car, besides the shape.

That's a huge air inlet, wonder how much cooling the new Renault requires for all those bhp they stated?

It's quite pretty, but I hate the golden bit at the nose, I feel it should've covered the whole tip, as usual.

It does look kinda lumpy, but at least it looks different with it. The only livery it vaguely reminds me of is the 1995 Benetton, purely because of that splodge of yellow on the side.
Plus it could well get modified before or during the season.

Wow...

What the actual hell Red Bull?

All new pictures added to P1, let the testing begin!!

That Sauber would have been the perfect car to get looking right when editing the original Microprose Grand Prix!

....just showing my age!

Shame the #camobull won't be raced, because that is indeed very creative.

so, dennis confirmed 2015 macca´s livery will change and the team is asking people on Twitter whether they prefer, if the orange from the 60s or the red & white one...


also, i really love Seb´s helmet!!!!! hes surely gonna change it race by race, but is nice to see a simple and clean helmet design

Agreed, if that ZebraRedBull livery is only for testing it'll be a shame. I saw photos of it on Twitter first thing this morning, thought it looked brilliant. It would be a nice departure from the livery which they've essentially used since 2005, and which has become kinda boring IMO.

RE the Macca livery, I'd prefer red and white to orange.

And yeah, nice helmet design by Seb. It would be nice if he keeps it, it's easily the most distinctive one he's had so far(I also dislike the drivers' tendency to keep constantly changing them these days).
