Touché! I'm afraid not though, it's a bit more...subtle.

That's very cool Jake.
Please please please put some sort of nose art on the side though. Like a red croc's nose, something like the Jordan cars had in the late 90s/early 2000s.
That'd look so badass.
Greg, I'd potentially drop Mastercard and Pepsi as sponsors. You could then be principally supported by Monster, Prince and Sonax, with fuel provided by Shell and engines and tyres by Mercedes and Pirelli respectively.
I think cutting down the number of sponsors will just leave your livery less cluttered. For instance it would mean that you'd have a lot more space for the SAP, Pirelli, and Mercedes logo on the nose, and could experiment with the rear wing endplates.
One thing I would definitely suggest is to remove the Merc logo off of the front wing supports. Just check out some of the other liveries from this season and you'll notice we've all tended to steer away from putting logo's there.
A final point on your fuel and engine partners, I'm pretty sure that Shell exclusively provide fuel for Ferrari, so I'm not sure if they would actually work alongside Mercedes.
Obviously it's a game at the end of the day, so stuff like that doesn't really matter.

Mate, that is sick! No words about it. One thing I'd say is add a tiny touch of red on the rear wing endplates. Would do the job nicely.
Edit:
Mr Mullet:
With regard to your car, 1) Apologies for being late to this.
2) The number of sponsors you've got seems to create a cluttered feel to the whole car. It draws the attention away from the minimalistic design (which is good, minimal is always good).
As Dan said, there's nothing that looks good on the front wing supports except the old Bridgestone logo we had. Leave it blank or instead put a little flag on each side for your drivers. Eg. Australia on one side and another on the other side. Put a white stroke of 3 pixels on the inside.
The Pirelli logo on the red on the endplates of the front wing. Sorry but that just looks wrong. Go for white or instead just leave it blank since it is a primary partner.
The nose. Ohhh my... Remove all except pepsi, sap and pirelli and just keep it in the black spaces or have Pepsi and SAP in the black and pirelli in the red (for the primary partner effect). Ooo and for SAP, use their blue backed logo, it'll stand out well
.
The engine cover looks great over so top job on that. Only one thing, the Mercedes Benz logo, put it around the engine bits like McLaren do, it makes it look snazzier and keeps the top fin blank and flowing.
For the sides, I'd suggest the removal of all logos. Keep prince and that's it.
For the rear end plates, get rid of the flag and put it in the number itself like (ahem..) MPR in the Red days and my beloved DXR.. Just keep Sonax, Samsung and SAP on there all spaced around the wing. That's it.
I hope that's the kind of feedback you were looking for and if I've criticised and nit-picked too much (ask anyone here, I do it too much for my own good haha!), I apologise. Otherwise, keep up the good job because your base design is smashing!

Yeah Jake, that livery is honestly mind-blowing. You say you like the KFR? Well, I like yours right as much! I agree with Monil, though. A red stripe, maybe under the TOTAL logo at the rear wing would really serve the overall package.

@Incident 2k9, liking the livery update. Looks good. But why change from HSBC to SanDisk for main sponsor?
@Ferrari2007, drop Mastercard and Pepsi? I suppose I can do that. As for removing the Mercedes logo from front wing supports, Christel have the Vauxhall logo there, so I thought I'd do the same with the Mercedes logo. I think it looks ok, but if I have to remove it then I'll do so. Shame I couldn't keep the first name of the drivers on the car where I had them originally. I still wanted to keep the names, so that's why the first name is on the rear wing. But I'll most likely remove the name to help make the rear wing look less cluttered. And engine, fuel and tyres are not final yet, so there's a chance they'll change by the time my team joins. I'll have a chance over the weekend to modify the livery once again, so once I finish that I'll post another update. Truecrysis suggested making my livery stand out more. How can I go about doing that?

Damn, Dan, that's a sweet idea!
@Greg: I just didn't feel the HSBC logo suited the car as much. That said, I'm considering changing Sandisk as well...
Thanks for the kind words, chaps...I'll tweak a few little things and see what I can do with your feedback.

Greg, I'm just giving some suggestions. I don't want to depart from what it is that you want on your livery. It's your team after all.
I consider the current MPR livery and those that have gone before it to be part of my identity amongst the series, even more so now that I've retired as a driver and my helmet has been shelved away.
If you keep taking my advice you'll end up with a white car with Martini stripes all over it
Jake, I'm not sure that the red on the rear wing endplates that has been suggested is really necessary. The lines on this car look great and a red flash would disrupt that in my opinion.

Very nice! This is how the recent Saubers should have looked. Although I agree SanDisk could be changed for a company with a better logo

Unless I'm very much mistaken... I am very much mistaken!

Yeah, I've canned Sandisk now...
Does anyone have any reasonable alternatives? I'm considering something alcohol-based...

You don't have to do anything. You asked for comments and that's what you get. Simple suggestions to things that one person thinks might look better. If you prefer something else, then go for it! It's your livery, after all.
What Connor meant with stand out more is what Jake has done with his livery. That is, bringing something unique. He went for this reptile grey, which is something unique and standing out. Other examples are the current TSM livery, with this star-themed grey. Or possibly other examples are two of my own:
The current KFR livery with its blue laser-beam optic: (click for bigger)
Or a first livery I painted for it also went for this reptile look: (click for bigger)

Nice. This update looks better than the previous one.
Just want to ask; how do you get the red outline around the nose?
@Ferrari2007, Martini is your team's sponsor. I wouldn't want to use the same sponsor.

Shouldn't activity check be completed by now? How many times must the check be late?
